Since our founding, CHOC Children’s has been meeting the needs of children and families with first-class care and state-of-the-art facilities. CHOC has emerged as an extensive healthcare system, featuring a main hospital in the city of Orange, a second hospital in Mission Viejo, multiple community clinics and mobile health vans — ensuring that every child in Orange County has access to outstanding care.

As a non-profit hospital, CHOC relies on community support to provide leading-edge care for infants, children and adolescents close to home.
