Commonwealth takes pride in building lasting partnerships that reflect shared values and a commitment to excellence. Our work in healthcare facilities is especially meaningful because it supports organizations that care for our communities every day. Among these partnerships, our relationship with CHI Health St. Elizabeth remains one of the most trusted and valued collaborations.
Senior Service Manager, Matt Briggs, nominated the St. Elizabeth/Nebraska Heart Foundation due to personal experiences as well as Commonwealth’s long-standing partnership with the organization.
“The relationship between Commonwealth and St. Elizabeth Hospital spans many years and stands as a testament to mutual trust and commitment. Over the past several decades, Commonwealth has proudly completed the majority of the hospital’s additions and renovations, and we continue to maintain a daily presence through ongoing service work. Few customers have demonstrated the level of loyalty and partnership that CHI Health has shown us. Their continued trust in our work is something we deeply value. On a personal note, CHI Health has also played a vital role in supporting the health and well-being of myself, my family, and our community, especially through their emergency and specialty care services. Their impact extends far beyond the professional realm, touching lives in meaningful and lasting ways.”
