In one of the single largest gifts in Holy Cross Health’s 69-year history, philanthropists Wanda and Jim Moran, Jr. and the Wanda & Jim Moran Foundation have donated $6.5 million to support the hospital’s crucial needs.

Their transformational gift will fund the purchase of a dedicated CT scanner that enhances the diagnostic capabilities in the Emergency Department (ED) as well as conversion of an existing X-ray room into a dedicated CT room in the ED. Their gift will also support renovations and capital improvements in the hospital, including the acquisition of new medical equipment. Holy Cross Health will proudly name the building where the ED is located as the Wanda and Jim Moran, Jr. Emergency Department.

“Our family has a long-standing relationship with Holy Cross Health,” said Jim Moran, Jr., President and Founder of the Wanda & Jim Moran Foundation. “We have always supported the Holy Cross mission and believe deeply in their commitment to providing exceptional care to the community. By contributing to the new CT scanner for the emergency department, we hope to ensure that patients receive the most advanced diagnostic technology when they need it most.”

The state-of-the-art Philips Spectral CT 7500 will be operational in the Holy Cross ED in late 2025/early 2026, significantly elevating the hospital’s diagnostic capabilities. “We are so blessed to have this donation, which will have a lasting impact on our ministry,” said Mark Doyle, President and CEO of Holy Cross Health. “This generous gift from the Moran’s and their foundation is not just an investment in equipment and capital improvements, it is an investment in the well-being of our community who rely on us every day as their trusted health partner.”
