The University of California Irvine plans to build a $1 billion hospital campus that will house a 144-bed acute-care facility, ambulatory care center, and cancer center. The hospital will focus on key clinical programs such as oncology, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics and digestive health, and will include a 24-hour emergency department. The first patients are expected in late 2022 in the UCI Health Center for Advanced Care, pending legal and regulatory approvals, and the hospital is set for completion in 2025. |
