Through the generous support of our donors, St. Joseph Hospital continues to meet the growing needs of the community by offering the very best medical care in a healing environment that welcomes all.
The Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment
Our three-story, stand alone cancer center brings world-class care to Orange County in a single convenient location. In addition to offering advanced cancer prevention and treatment therapy, every aspect of the Center’s design focuses on patient comfort and healing.
Philanthropy played a key role in the development of the Center. Over $22 million in private donations supported the development of the 87,000 square foot cancer treatment facility, significantly surpassing the initial $18 million goal.
Patient Care Center
Coined "the hospital of the future" the Patient Care Center embodies the mission and vision of our Sisters. Featuring 14 operating suites and 150 acute and intensive care beds, the Patient Care Center offers some of the most advanced care in the county. Equally important is the Center's dedication to family and healing. Featuring a family waiting room, reflection rooms, and The Muth Healing Garden, the Center's design provides a comforting environment for loved ones and a healing environment for patients.
Community members, employees, corporations, physicians and foundations provided more than $20 million in philanthropic support toward construction of the 250,000 square foot Patient Care Center.
Hybrid Operating Room
St. Joseph Hospital is the first hospital in the nation to offer a true Hybrid Operating Room (OR) for the treatment of heart and vascular disorders in adult and pediatric patients. The OR features Artis Zeego, the first multi-axis imaging system that uses robotic technology and 3-D imaging software to reconstruct high-resolution images of the heart and vascular system. The advanced technology allows heart and vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and interventional cardiologists to work together as highly efficient medical teams. This provides the maximum level of comfort and safety for patients and the opportunity to provide surgery options for high-risk patients.
As a part of the Heart and Vascular Center, the Hybrid OR was completed with generous support from the philanthropic community, ensuring healthy hearts for many years to come.
Care for the Poor
Through the generosity of our donors, St. Joseph Hospital provides vital, often life-saving care to the working poor in our community. Without such support, many of these patients would have nowhere else to turn for care.
