A Bold Future for Women’s Health on Hoag’s Sun Family Campus
As the busiest maternity hospital and highest-volume breast cancer provider in California, women across Orange County and beyond turn to Hoag with their most intimate health care needs. Their trust is emboldening Hoag’s commitment to making the best care more convenient and accessible to more women with the construction of a new Women’s Hospital Pavilion on Hoag’s expanding Sun Family Campus in Irvine.
Last month, more than 850 guests, including dedicated donors, hospital staff, construction crew members and community partners, gathered to celebrate the placement of the highest beam on the new pavilion. Allyson Brooks, MD, FACOG, Ginny Ueberroth Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair, Hoag Women’s Health Institute, delivered inspiring remarks about the crucial importance of women’s health and the innovative programs the pavilion will house.
Supported by the Boldly Hoag campaign, a philanthropic initiative to support Hoag’s expansion in Irvine, the new Women’s Hospital Pavilion will include inpatient and outpatient wings to bring additional services to Irvine residents and surrounding communities based on new and established offerings in Newport Beach.
The new space, scheduled to be completed in 2026, will unite leading-edge technology and compassionate care through a team of specialists working together for each patient. The inpatient wing of the pavilion will house:
- 24 labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum suites
- 21 antepartum and postpartum rooms
- A dedicated OB triage for patients who may otherwise have gone to the emergency department
- 6 specialty birthing suites designed for midwives and doulas, featuring a built-in tub for women who have integrated water into their birth plans
- A new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with 17 NICU beds, enabling families who require advanced care to remain together postpartum
Connected to the inpatient wing by a wellness garden and glass sky bridge to incorporate the healing elements of nature, the outpatient wing will include a new comprehensive breast center with advanced imaging technology as well as physician offices for Orange Coast Women’s Medicine Group and Hoag’s maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Thoughtful design elements throughout the state-of-the-art facility support a collaborative approach to care and the extension of high-ranking programs found at Hoag’s Newport Beach campus.
