California's Children's Hospital of Orange County has broken ground on a new nine-story tower that will house a variety of pediatric outpatient services.
The building, which will open in phases beginning in mid-2025, will include a comprehensive outpatient imaging center, a dedicated Research Institute floor, oncology infusion services, multiple specialty clinics, and a host of patient and family amenities, reports the Orange County Register.
"The Southwest Tower will create a one-stop shop, so to speak, for patients and families who currently are seen across numerous specialties," Dr. Charles Golden, assistant chief medical officer and vice president and executive medical director of CHOC's Primary Care Network, says in a press release.
"Research has shown that treating children on an outpatient basis, whenever possible, can promote faster recovery times and enhanced well-being."
The tower will feature state-of-the-art modalities that produce high-quality pictures that will improve diagnoses and use the lowest levels of radiation possible, and its ninth floor will be dedicated to CHOC's Research Institute, which will offer access to cutting-edge pediatric research and clinical trials that in many cases can't be found anywhere else.
