(Sept. 21, 2026)<\/strong> \u2013 Hoag today announced the opening of the Hoag Hospital Irvine Sun Family Campus, a major expansion that brings specialized hospitals, outpatient facilities, advanced surgical services and nationally recognized clinical programs together on one integrated campus in Irvine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis expansion is more than a collection of state-of-the-art buildings. It reflects Hoag\u2019s commitment to growing alongside Orange County, while continuing to redefine what healthcare can look like,\u201d said Robert T. Braithwaite, President &amp; CEO of Hoag. \u201cThe Hoag Hospital Irvine Sun Family Campus was envisioned as a healthcare village, bringing specialized care and clinical expertise together in a place where every aspect of the patient experience was designed to make care more connected, more convenient, and more personalized.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A New Chapter in Irvine<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoag Hospital Irvine first opened in 2010, extending Hoag\u2019s hospital-based care into one of Orange County\u2019s fastest-growing communities. In the years since, Hoag has continued to expand its presence in Irvine alongside the community it serves, adding new services, specialists and facilities to meet growing and increasingly complex healthcare needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opening of the Sun Family Campus marks the next chapter in that evolution, building on Hoag Hospital Irvine\u2019s strong foundation with a significant expansion of advanced specialty care. The campus brings together dedicated facilities for cancer, women\u2019s health, digestive health and advanced surgery, along with emergency and orthopedic care. Across Sand Canyon Avenue, additional Hoag outpatient facilities offer primary care, urgent care, imaging, physician offices and specialty services, creating a connected destination where patients can access care across a broad range of needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Designed Around Patients<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The campus was designed to make that care easier to navigate and the experience of receiving it less stressful. Hospital and outpatient services are connected to reduce friction as patients move through diagnosis, treatment and recovery, while the physical environment reflects the same attention to the patient experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural light, landscaped outdoor spaces, intuitive wayfinding, welcoming gathering areas and amenities for patients and families are integrated throughout the campus to promote comfort, connection and healing. Together with a care model that brings specialists and services closer to patients, these elements create an environment designed around both the clinical and human needs of patients and families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe had the rare opportunity to build around the patient experience from the ground up,\u201d said Robert Brunswick, Chair of the Hoag Hospital Board of Directors. \u201cThat meant thinking not only about the medicine and technology inside these buildings, but also about how patients and families move through them, how they stay connected to their care teams, and how the environment itself can support them during some of the most important moments of their lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Women\u2019s Health<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoag\u2019s new Women\u2019s Hospital and Women\u2019s Outpatient Pavilion bring together specialized care for women across every stage of life, from pregnancy and childbirth to breast health, gynecology, menopause and wellness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Women\u2019s Hospital features 24 private labor, delivery and postpartum suites, a 24\/7 OB Emergency Department and a 17-bed Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with private rooms designed to support families. Just steps away, the Women\u2019s Outpatient Pavilion provides breast health, maternal-fetal diagnostics, OB-GYN and midwifery care, advanced imaging and wellness services, connecting care across different stages of a woman\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cancer Care<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoag\u2019s cancer facilities bring specialized hospital and outpatient care together to make a complex cancer journey more coordinated and convenient. The Cancer Outpatient Pavilion brings oncology specialists, infusion therapy, imaging, pharmacy and supportive services together in one location, while a Cancer Hospital just steps away provides dedicated inpatient rooms for patients undergoing cancer treatment<\/span><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The campus is also home to Orange County\u2019s first dedicated Cancer Urgent Care, providing evaluation and treatment for cancer-related symptoms and therapy-related side effects. Available to both Hoag and non-Hoag cancer patients, the service gives patients another option for timely, specialized care outside of a traditional emergency department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Digestive Health<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoag\u2019s digestive health facilities bring together specialized physicians, advanced diagnostics, procedures and hospital care for patients with digestive conditions, creating a more connected path from diagnosis through treatment and recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Digestive Outpatient Pavilion features six specialized procedure suites supporting advanced digestive health and interventional pulmonology care, with technology for minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment. From routine screenings to highly specialized procedures, these spaces allow physicians to identify and treat conditions while helping many patients recover more comfortably and return home the same day. Meanwhile, the adjacent Digestive Hospital provides dedicated rooms and specialized care teams for patients who need hospital-based care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Advanced Surgical Services<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Surgical Pavilion expands Hoag\u2019s capabilities for complex surgery and critical care with eight state-of-the-art operating rooms, including a hybrid suite for highly complex cardiovascular and vascular procedures; advanced robotic-assisted technology; and minimally invasive surgical capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pavilion was designed to support coordination throughout the surgical experience, from preparation and surgery through recovery and critical care. Dedicated pre-operative and recovery areas, spacious intensive care rooms and amenities for families further reflect the campus\u2019s focus on both clinical excellence and the patient experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Community Investment Made Possible Through Philanthropy\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philanthropy has been a cornerstone of Hoag\u2019s growth since its earliest days, when community donations and a landmark gift from the Hoag family helped establish the flagship hospital in Newport Beach. Today, that tradition continues through the Boldly Hoag campaign, which fueled the expansion of the Hoag Hospital Irvine Sun Family Campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thousands of community donors and partners have contributed to the expansion, along with transformational gifts that have accelerated the campus\u2019s growth. These include $100 million from campus namesakes Diana and David Sun and $25 million from longtime Hoag supporters Benjamin and Carmela Du, whose gift established the Du Family Hospital Pavilion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPhilanthropy is one of the forces that makes Hoag\u2019s privademic model possible, giving our physicians and clinical leaders the resources to move quickly, invest in innovation and build programs around what patients need,\u201d said Caroline A. Pereira, MBA, president of the Hoag Hospital Foundation. \u201cThe Hoag Hospital Irvine Sun Family Campus is an extraordinary example of what can happen when a community invests in its own health. Every donor who contributed to this vision helped create a place that will serve Orange County families for generations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Hoag Hospital Irvine Sun Family Campus at a Glance<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1 billion expansion\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expansion adds six new buildings to the hospital campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expansion adds 155 inpatient beds to the campus, bringing the hospital\u2019s total bed count to 251.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expansion adds 11 operating rooms and two procedure rooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expansion includes 120,000 square feet of ambulatory facilities\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project brings dedicated cancer, women\u2019s health, digestive health and augmented surgical facilities to the campus.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expansion builds upon the hospital\u2019s existing 24\/7 Emergency Department<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, inpatient medical care,\u00a0and Hoag Orthopedic Institute, a nationally recognized orthopedic specialty hospital.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sun Family Campus includes Orange County\u2019s first dedicated Cancer Urgent Care.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new Women\u2019s Hospital includes a 24\/7 OB Emergency Department.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 17-bed Level III NICU is part of the expansion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six-Building Expansion Brings Specialized Hospital and&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local","category-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=84074"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84075,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84074\/revisions\/84075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=84074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=84074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=84074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
