High-Quality Care Holy Cross Germantown Hospital will offer emergency, medical, surgical, obstetric and psychiatric care, along with an on-site medical office building, to meet a full range of community needs. All patient rooms will be private to enhance patient safety and satisfaction, as well as patient, family and visitor comfort.
