Holy Cross Hospital was founded by the Sisters of Holy Cross and was originally slated to be built in Panorama City. It was eventually built at 15031 Rinaldi Street in Mission Hills and opened in 1961. In 1996 the Sisters of Providence acquired the hospital and renamed it Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. Photograph caption dated April 9, 1959 reads "'Fiesta De La Flores,' gala herald to spring and benefit for Holy Cross Hospital, gets boost from hospital guild members. Arranging hanging flower basket decorations are, left to right, Mmes. Peter Schnezler, Lloyd Aldrich and Albert E. Mitchell."
