In celebration of Veterans Day, we were proud to participate in the 102nd Central Valley Veteran’s Day Parade to honor the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces and their families who have answered our country’s call to serve with dedication, courage and sacrifice. Special thanks to our parade participants who proudly represented Saint Agnes: CMO Dr. Gene Egerton, Dale Vadeboncoeur, Lawrence Cervantes and Brent Yuenger. And a huge shoutout to Saint Agnes Board Director Tom Ferdinandi, who drove them in his Me N Ed’s vintage fire truck.

Red Ribbon Week

October 27th, 2021 // Saint Agnes in the Community

National Red Ribbon Week (October 23-31), is the nation’s largest and longest-running drug use prevention campaign and provides communities, like ours, with the education, treatments and outreach necessary to help young people learn and respond to the dangers of substance abuse. As health care colleagues and providers, we can better care for our patients and loved ones by engaging in more frequent conversations about substance abuse and helping them find the resources they need to quit.

Saint Agnes helps support women in need

November 18th, 2020 // Saint Agnes in the Community

Earlier this month, one of our community health partners, Cultiva La Salud, received a Social Influencer Grant to help ensure that students of Fresno County schools had access to healthy foods. When COVID-19 hit in March and the county mandated school closures, Saint Agnes asked Cultiva to repurpose its funding to help provide families with the essential resources they needed. Please take a few moments to watch this powerful video Cultiva created to showcase the impact of their new program. We’re proud to continue supporting the important life-changing work of Cultiva.

More than any public health event in our nation’s history, COVID-19 has made clear that our health care delivery system is failing to meet the needs of all people.
