Holy Cross Hospital is proud to announce its 3rd Annual Veterans Day Brunch, honoring the service and sacrifice of Taos County veterans. The “Brunch With the Bravest” event will be held on Saturday, 8 November 2025, at 1000 hours in the Wheeler Peak Cafeteria at Holy Cross Hospital. All Taos County veterans are invited to attend this free brunch as a heartfelt thank you for their dedication and selfless service to our nation.
Over the past two years, the Veterans Day celebration at Holy Cross has become a meaningful community event. Last year’s lunch drew nearly 65 veterans, who came together to share stories, reconnect with old friends, and enjoy a meal in their honor. This year’s event will once again be catered by the talented Dietary staff of Holy Cross Hospital, who are preparing a delicious brunch to show their appreciation for local veterans.
Holy Cross Hospital is one of the largest employers in Taos County, with over 560 dedicated employees, including 15 proud veterans who continue to serve their community through healthcare. The hospital is deeply committed to supporting those who have served, both as valued members of its staff and as patients within its care network.
“As a veteran, I am proud that Holy Cross is hosting this event for the third year in a row. I wanted to make sure that Holy Cross recognized not only the employees that are veterans, but also veterans in our community,”
Vivian Santistevan, Major, US Army (Retired)
and Chief of Human Resources for Holy Cross Medical Center.
Santistevan added, “Getting together to recognize Veterans Day with fellow veterans from all different branches of service is an honor. This is truly a community event where you see old friends, eat a delicious meal and connect with fellow veterans. Please come and join us!”
Holy Cross Hospital began accepting TriWest Veterans Health Care two years ago, expanding access to high-quality care for veterans in Taos County and reaffirming the hospital’s commitment to serving those who have served.
The hospital invites all Taos County veterans to join in this celebration of camaraderie, gratitude, and community. Veterans are asked to bring proof of service to the event to ensure proper recognition.
