The completion of this new state-of-the-art tower, combined with world-class talent and research capabilities, ushers in a new era at CHOC--one that will result in innovation and discovery, ultimately improving care for all children.

Seven stories tall and tripling the size of our existing patient care facility in Orange, this tower is the physical manifestation of our vision to become a nationally recognized premier children’s hospital.
