By GlobalDataUCI Health CEO Chad T Lefteris said: “UCI Health is building the next chapter of healthcare in Orange County.
“The new UCI Medical Center — Irvine will be a full-service academic medical complex, bringing a broad range of the most advanced healthcare services to coastal and southern Orange County, including access to the hundreds of clinical trials underway at UCI Health.”
During the construction phase, the project is expected to create thousands of construction jobs. It will also generate thousands of new healthcare jobs upon completion.
The outpatient Center for Advanced Care and Center for Children’s Health is expected to become operational in early 2023, while the hospital and cancer centre will open in 2025.
Once opened, the 350,000ft2 medical complex will connect with UCI Health primary care network across Orange County.
It will also serve as the hub for participation in Orange County’s largest clinical trials portfolio, which includes early-phase trials in cancer, neurosciences, stem cell-derived treatments, internal medicine and more.
