Our vision is becoming a reality.
Since City of Hope announced plans to develop a world-class cancer center in Orange County, we’ve spent the last year listening intently to the people in Orange County and identifying how we can contribute to meeting both the present and future community needs.
Today, we revealed the details of our plans, announcing that City of Hope is investing more than $1 billion to develop a state-of-the-art comprehensive cancer campus in Irvine that is expected to open in 2021, which is sooner than initially planned. We will bring highly specialized cancer care, phase I-III clinical trials, and precision medicine and early detection to Orange County residents.

We’re delivering on our promise and opening our doors faster to alleviate the unnecessary hardships on patients and their families. Residents soon will be able to access City of Hope’s latest and most advanced therapies closer to home.
I’m so privileged to be part of this community and will continue to keep you updated on our progress. We’re moving in on cancer, and helping to create a healthier and cancer-free Orange County.

5 年So excited to have this in our backyard!! Too many friends have had to travel long distances getting great treatments

5 年There are already 10 bricks and mortar, large cancer treatment centers in Orange County. Is building yet another traditional bricks and mortar hospital the best investment in our future? The entire world is moving away from this model; yet, we continue to see large investments to centralize cancer care. What we need are freestanding facilities where patients can receive treatment with integrated access to protocols and studies closer to their home and at a lower cost.
Engage Talent with Impact. Your Fractional Resource.
5 年Congratulations Annette.? Wishing you continued success.
