Hoag is a renowned health care organization with the heart and soul of
a community hospital. Our technology is leading edge, our treatments are
groundbreaking, and our physicians, nurses and technicians are the best
in their fields. And, because we are a community-driven organization,
each of our successes and innovations, and awards and distinctions belongs
not just to Hoag, but to the entire community.
In fact, our accomplishments on behalf of the community are a direct result
of Hoag’s 60-plus-year partnership with the people who count on
Hoag. This is why the Hoag Hospital Foundation has embarked upon an unprecedented
$627 million comprehensive campaign, collaborating once again with the
communities we serve to lead Hoag forward and ensure it remains at the
forefront of innovative health care.
Known as Hoag Promise, Our Campaign to Lead, Innovate & Transform,
the 10-year comprehensive campaign will significantly expand your access
to innovative, quality and compassionate health care.
Without philanthropy, innovation and quality services are nearly impossible
to fund. But with community support, anything is possible.
Hoag Hospital Foundation has already raised $331 million in gifts to support
a multitude of programs. This includes scholarships for our stellar nursing
staff to seek advanced degrees. Funds have helped pioneer advanced procedures
such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, or TAVR, an innovative
approach to aortic valve replacement that was funded in part by Jeffrey
M. Carlton. And philanthropy has given such procedures a home in the Bob
& Marjie Bennett Advanced Cardiovascular Surgical Suite – the
first operating room of its kind in Orange County that enables advanced
diagnostic imaging and surgical procedures to be performed simultaneously
in the same room.
The Hoag Promise Campaign will benefit every area of Hoag. New funds will
increase access to clinical trials, create and implement new patient-care
technologies, enhance Hoag’s physical facilities, create additional
endowed chairs, and expand our nationally renowned institutes and programs
in areas such as cancer, neurosciences, heart and vascular, women’s
health and diabetes.
“Hoag was founded by the community and for the community, but is
absolutely a regional force in health care,” said Robert T. Braithwaite,
Hoag’s president and chief executive officer. “The Hoag Promise
Campaign doubles down on our commitment – taking the best of what
Hoag does now and expanding upon it, ensuring the organization’s
continued clinical leadership, innovative spirit and transformative potential.”
Underscoring the vital role that community participation plays, a Campaign
Leadership Council comprising prominent community members is leading the
campaign. These volunteers include Dick Allen, Terry Callahan, Pei-yuan
Chia, Jim Coufos, David Horowitz, Roger Kirwan, Karen Linden, and Ginny
Ueberroth. Hundreds of other volunteer leaders and physicians are serving
on campaign committees.
“Community support and philanthropy are absolutely essential to our
mission as the health care industry undergoes transformational changes
in the way services are provided and funded,” said Flynn A. Andrizzi,
Ph.D., president of Hoag Hospital Foundation. “Through this campaign,
we are determined to help Hoag achieve its ultimate potential. At the
same time, we are steadfastly holding on to the culture of outstanding
service, innovation and compassion that makes Hoag so special today.”
