Heart of Hoag:
Quality Healthcare for All
A Legacy of Impact
Hoag's commitment for a healthy Orange County
Since the opening of the Center eight years ago, we’ve endeavored to make a significant impact in our community by providing assistance to underserved, vulnerable, and low income individuals and families. The Center offers a collaborative approach by partnering with nonprofit organizations in one location to improve the health of the community. In addition to increasing health access, the Center provides everything from legal aid, financial coaching, food distribution to mental health services for the underserved among us. Services are offered at no cost.

Our passion and purpose for serving our community fuels our dedication
Hoag’s quality and compassion flows far beyond the reaches of our hospitals, urgent cares and clinics. Hoag’s Community Benefit programs extends our contribution to the community in ways that profoundly impact the community around us. Ways that many people don’t see.

We believe access to quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege
Our Community Benefit programs provide Hoag-level care to those who face barriers in accessing basic health needs. We support community partners who are doing excellent work addressing mental health, housing and food insecurity. We help promote healthy lifestyles that impact whole families, from our youngest neighbors to our oldest.
Building a more equitable world of healthcare
The causes of health inequity include economic factors that are exacerbated by language barriers, legal status, and high depression rates — all major factors that keep residents oppressed and disadvantaged. Hoag’s Community Benefit programs help enhance the health status of the community. The following highlights Hoag’s 2023 impact.
- • $65.3 M MediCal/CalOptima Cost of Unreimbursed Care
- • $8.4 M Financial and In-Kind Contributions
