This week Minuteman Parking is proudly celebrating… you guessed it! National Hospital Week. Every year since 1921 this week is celebrated by communities and healthcare professionals throughout the country. The American Hospital Association has been sponsoring National Hospital Week since it’s inception as a time to reflect on the important role that hospitals and medical facilities across the country do for us as citizens. Many hospitals provide more to their communities than just medical advice and practice.

So join us in celebrating National Hospital Week by thanking your local healthcare professionals for everything they do! We are proud to serve our growing portfolio of hospitals and medical facilities throughout the West Coast. Minuteman would like to extend a sincere Thank You to all of our healthcare partners! We appreciate all that you do!

Minuteman is taking over the nation one hospital at a time! We added a second medical facility to our portfolio this month with Providence Holy Cross Medical Center.

Providence Holy Cross is a 377- bed, not-for-profit medical facility founded in 1961. Their medical campus prides themselves on a full continuum of health care, from inpatient and outpatient services to home health care, health education, and community outreach programs. They have a state-of-the-art Cancer Center and a Level II Trauma Center.

Minuteman will be providing valet and self-parking services to the medical center’s patients and visitors Monday through Friday. We are excited to be continuing our partnership with Providence Health!

Minuteman is welcoming a new medical facility to the family- Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center located just north of Los Angeles. Minuteman was recently awarded the contract with Saint Joseph, and began services on Wednesday, May 1st to kick off the new month! We are very excited to add another Providence Health location to our growing list of hospitals and medical facilities!

Providence Saint Joseph is a 446 bed medical facility located in Burbank, CA. They are the second largest hospital serving the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys. They are known for their state-of-the-art technology and quality compassionate care. Minuteman will be providing valet and self parking services at the medical center Monday through Friday. We can’t wait to start improving their patient and visitor experience!

We would like to give a shout out to Minuteman Employees at St. Bernardine Medical Center for their outstanding service! Our team at St. B’s definitely knows how to take care of their patients and visitors. A visitor at the medical center gave them this Thank You card along with a batch of homemade cookies to our valet team to express her and her husband’s gratitude and appreciation for our service. Our guys made their experience a whole lot easier during the couples’ stay at the medical center, and we were extremely grateful to receive this kind of appreciation. This is why we do what we do best!

Minuteman Parking has been providing valet and parking management services at St. Bernardine Medical Center for over 5 years. We look forward to providing more outstanding customer service to their patients and visitors!

Minuteman was recently nominated “Best Valet” in the South Bay in Easy Reader Magazine! After visiting our location at Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance, Easy Reader editor Randy Angel was so wowed by our service that he personally awarded us this recognition and published an article in their online publication. Minuteman was the first parking services company to ever be nominated in the magazine, and we were among 100 other nominees, including Best Gym, Best Sports Bar, and many others.

We would like to extend a very warm thank you to Randy and the Easy Reader team for including us in their magazine! And a job well done to our team at Little Company of Mary. Keep up the great work, guys!

Minuteman is extremely excited to announce the opening of our first new hotel account in 2013! We were awarded the contract with the very classy Hotel Zetta at the beginning of this year, and we have officially started valet services there this week. The Hotel Zetta is a 116-room luxury hotel boasting an innovative, creative vibe in one of the edgiest cities in the country. They are located in the heart of San Francisco’s SoMa district, walking distance to Union Square.

Congratulations to Herney Pillimue, Minuteman’s 2012 Manager of the Year! Minuteman held their Annual Manager’s Meeting in January, and each year one Manager is chosen to receive the Manager of the Year award based on their overall performance and service scores at their location. Herney is our Account Manager at the Spotlight 29 Casino in Palm Springs. He received the best combined scores in 2012 compared to all other managers, and therefore was awarded this highly honorable achievement from Minuteman.

Minuteman holds their Annual Manager’s Meeting every January to reconvene as a team. This gives us the chance to discuss the previous year’s achievements, areas for improvement, and where we’re headed for the upcoming year. We also have some awesome guest speakers at every meeting, and it’s a great way to bond as a family! We are excited about the upcoming year and there is lots in store for Minuteman in 2013. Congrats again to Herney on a job very well done!

Minuteman has the great pleasure of acknowledging Mr. James Prestel, Traffic Safety Attendant (TSA) at St. Joseph hospital. Jim and the rest of the St. Joe’s Security Team have done an outstanding job in demonstrating the kind of care and customer service Minuteman Parking aims to give all their clients. James’ commitment to excellence and care was demonstrated when he came to the aid of the Security Department at St. Joseph’s. James performed emergency CPR on a patient before the Security team could get there. He contributed to saving a life, and was able to step up and deliver under an extremely high-pressure situation.

It is this kind of attitude and ability to help others that continues to make a positive and memorable first and last impression of both the hospital and Minuteman Parking. Congratulations James on your honorable recognition, and thank you for your dedication. Keep up the good work!

Yesterday was Minuteman’s official grand opening of our first account of 2013, City of Hope hospital! We spent a beautiful, sunny morning in Duarte, California introducing ourselves to the community. City of Hope is one of only 41 National Cancer Institutes designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Founded almost 100 years ago, COH was ranked as one of “America’s Best Hospitals” in cancer. They have 185 beds and over 670 registered nurses working towards a healthier community.

Minuteman is extremely honored to be awarded the contract with such an outstanding hospital. We can’t think of a better way to start off the New Year and look forward to providing stellar valet and shuttle services for their patients and visitors. Welcome to the family, City of Hope!
