On By wpra-source-author-site-1

Orange County is poised for a major expansion of healthcare services, with two new multibillion-dollar hospital projects set to open next month, including the first facility in the region exclusively focused on treating and curing cancer.

City of Hope Orange County will welcome its first patients to the six-story, 174,000-square-foot hospital on Dec. 1, marking the second phase of its $1.5 billion investment to expand cancer care services in Orange County.

Soon after, UCI Health will complete its $1.3 billion Irvine medical complex with the opening of a 144-bed, seven-story acute care hospital on Dec. 7. The complex, off Jamboree Road, already includes a cancer center and an ambulatory care building.

Both are a part of a local $4 billion hospital building boom, primarily driven by a growing aging population and the increasing need to bring care closer to home.

Next up: Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is planning a $1.2 billion, six-building expansion in Irvine. The first phase is expected to be completed by July 2026.

The Business Journal recently toured the new Irvine hospitals. See below for an inside look.
