Prime Healthcare is dedicated to providing compassionate support and service to all of the communities it proudly serves. St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, California, a valued member of the Prime Healthcare family, recently shared a story that captures how Prime's hospitals and communities we serve go above and beyond to positively impact others. While shopping for school backpacks for her grandchildren this week, a longtime resident of the community recalled that the very first backpack her daughter used for school was the one she received at a St. Francis Medical Center health fair 16 years ago. St. Francis filled it with school supplies, and her family was grateful. In this same spirit, the woman returned to the hospital yesterday carrying four new backpacks brimming with spiral notebooks, paper, composition books, crayons, markers, erasers, and fun stickers. She said she never forgot how much that first backpack meant to her daughter and family and asked that these backpacks be given to new families who might need a little extra help as the school year begins. We are so proud of the legacy of community support brought forth by the residents surrounding St. Francis. Your compassion and care continue to drive our mission forward. #InPrimeHealth #PrimeStories #HealthEquity #CommunityCare #PrimeHealthcare #StFrancisMedicalCenter #Lynwood
