Watsonville, Calif.-based Community Bridges has approved a $20,000 donation to support the Pajaro Valley Healthcare District Project's bid to purchase Watsonville Community Hospital, according to an Aug. 15 report by KSBW Action News.
Raymon Cancino, Community Bridges CEO, said it was important to invest in community values and focus on improving equitable access to healthcare.
"This community hospital is regionally needed for ongoing health and emergency care and we cannot afford to lose it," Mr. Cancino said.
The Watsonville Community Hospital filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 6, 2021.
