Hoag Health Center Irvine is adding two services this spring that patients
and doctors alike have been asking for.
Filling important outpatient service needs at the new health care center,
Hoag Surgery Center and Hoag Endoscopy Center will complement the excellent
outpatient and acute care services already offered by
Hoag in Irvine.
Hoag Surgery Center – Irvine
Hoag Surgery Center will accommodate patients whose conditions and procedures
are significant enough to require as much as 23 hours of recovery, but
not so significant that they require a longer hospital stay. While many
surgery centers in the county close their doors by 4 p.m., Hoag Surgery
Center has the flexibility to offer Hoag-quality care for its patients
after hours and overnight in well-appointed private rooms.
“We had the ability to plan for the future with this Surgery Center,
and we knew that more preventative and minimally-invasive procedures were
on the horizon,” said
Marcy Brown, vice president of Hoag Hospital Irvine and Ambulatory Services.
Surgery centers are subject to the same type of rigorous government oversight
and regulation as hospitals. In fact, Hoag Surgery Center has received
certification from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health
Care, an industry leader.
Even so, care in these facilities is typically reserved for healthier patients
and less complicated procedures.
Placing the most advanced surgical technology in a highly accessible and
aesthetically pleasing environment not only appeals to patients, but also
to the surgeons around the nation who have wanted such facilities for
years. Hoag will offer select specialty procedures at the Surgery Center
including gynecologic, urologic, breast, ear, nose and throat, neuro spine
and general surgery.
Hoag Endoscopy Center – Irvine
Hoag has cared for patients for several years at Hoag Endoscopy Center in
Newport Beach, and that outstanding care model will be available in the new Hoag Endoscopy
Center in Irvine.
The Center will offer outpatient services, such as
colonoscopy, esophogogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and sigmoidoscopy. Conceived with physician
input in order to ensure streamlined patient visits, the Center was designed
with patient comfort and convenience in mind alongside state-of-the-art
equipment and technology.
Patients Come First
Adding these services to Hoag’s “health care village” in
Irvine enhances the provision of high quality health care services to the community
where and when they need it. The quality of care available at Hoag Surgery
Center and Hoag Endoscopy Center is unparalleled due to the combination
of facilities, amenities, and perhaps most of all – the clinicians
and care providers.
“Hoag’s dedicated team of specialty trained nurses, surgeons,
gastroenterologists and anesthesiologists is devoted to making the patient
experience as comfortable and expedient as possible,” Brown said.
“This level of personalized care truly sets Hoag apart.”
