Last year, City of Hope and FivePoint announced their
partnership to build a $200 million, 73,000-square-foot cancer
center in FivePoint’s Great Park Neighborhoods by 2025. As planning
progressed, FivePoint and City of Hope expanded their vision for
the Great Park as a model community of the future with easily
accessible world-class health and wellness as a core offering. In
line with this vision, City of Hope significantly increased its
investment with a focus on highly specialized cancer care, research
and lifesaving treatments.
Now a space as big as the vision, the cancer campus on
approximately 11 acres of land at FivePoint Gateway in Irvine will
include an approximately 190,000-square-foot building that will be
a center of innovative cancer research and treatments. This
increased investment cuts City of Hope’s time to build the new
campus by half, with the center expected to open its doors in
2021.
City of Hope officials cite several reasons for an expanded
presence in the region. Nearly 20% of residents leave the area for
advanced care, with many heading to City of Hope’s main campus in
Duarte, California – an up to two-hour commute away. In addition,
despite its reputation for healthy living, Orange County is not
immune from the one-in-three national statistic for cancer
incidence. In fact, the cancer incidence rate in the county is
projected to increase by 18% over the next decade. Cancer risk
increases with age and the county’s population is aging faster than
the U.S. average.
City of Hope is answering the call to extend its personalized
care, outstanding research and lifesaving treatments closer to home
with the same sense of urgency as its scientists who find and
deliver cures. The City of Hope cancer campus is planned to
include:
- Orange County’s only specialty hospital dedicated solely to
treating and curing cancer.
- An outpatient cancer center offering diagnostic imaging and
screenings, precision medicine and early detection, medical
oncology, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgical oncology and
ambulatory surgery.
- A clinical research center offering phase I-III clinical
trials.
- Personalized supportive care services that include palliative
care physicians, psychiatrists, social workers and others who
partner with patients and their families to address the many
physical and emotional issues that can arise during and after
treatment. City of Hope is the model for other institutions across
the country.
- Access to a wide range of solid tumor and blood cancer
specialists dedicated to finding the best treatments for each
patient.
This campus will be an extension of City of Hope in Duarte,
providing access to highly specialized cancer experts and treatment
for the most complex cases, such as bone marrow transplants, stem
cell transplants and CAR T cell therapy.
City of Hope Orange County will include additional clinical
locations that will provide medical oncology and infusion services,
ensuring easy access to care throughout the region. As previously
announced, City of Hope is planning to open its Newport Beach
facility later this year, providing residents with a more
convenient way to receive leading-edge medicine.
Science that is saving lives:
- Each year, more than 100 million people benefit from
discoveries made at City of Hope and patients from around the world
are treated at its main campus in Duarte and at the 30 locations in
its clinical network.
- City of Hope is currently conducting more than 500 clinical
trials and its internationally respected scientists and clinical
experts collaborate across disciplines to turn science into
practical benefit.
- City of Hope’s research has saved lives around the world; four
of the most widely used cancer drugs are based on technology
pioneered by City of Hope, and the organization is a pioneer in
bone marrow and stem cell transplants.
- City of Hope is one of only 49 comprehensive cancer centers in
the nation, as designated by the National Cancer Institute.
- As one of the nation’s leading independent research clinical
enterprises, City of Hope’s clinical network also includes three
good manufacturing practice (GMP) facilities and, through an
affiliation with Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen),
advances in genomics technologies for the application of precision
medicine.
- With City of Hope’s unique approach to care, physicians and
scientists are connected through a powerful research environment
that speeds the development of new drugs and interventions to the
bedside, allowing patients to receive the latest treatments in
cancer care.
