“City of Hope, recently recognized as one of the Top 5 in the nation for cancer care by U.S. News & World Report, is advancing cancer cures, treatment and research with the opening of Orange County’s only specialty cancer hospital,” said Annette M. Walker, president, City of Hope Orange County. “We remain immensely grateful to everyone who welcomed us to OC and to our current and future supporters who are helping us fulfil our vision to make hope a reality for cancer patients and their families.”

The 73-bed, six-story hospital will be seamlessly connected to City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center, which has served thousands of patients since it opened in 2022.
