Rancho Guadalupe employees value their
employer’s support of Marian’s Emergency

Sergio Reyna, Supervisor at Rancho Guadalupe, also credits the
swift action of the Emergency Department for the safe delivery
of his fourth child. Sergio took his wife to the Emergency
Department at Marian when his wife began to go into labor.
