Hoag Cancer Center

Hoag Cancer Center was built with one fundamental principle in mind: providing state-of-the-art cancer care in a comforting, patient-friendly setting. Today the 65,000 square foot center is home to the greatest collection of cancer technology in Orange County, as well as a staff of dedicated and caring professionals, many of whom have been a part of the cancer center since the doors opened in 1991.

Hoag Cancer Center is firmly planted on the leading-edge of cancer treatment and offers patients a full range of traditional cancer therapies, as well as access to new investigational treatments. Hoag’s multidisciplinary approach emphasizes aggressive treatment with a combination of therapies to give patients the best hope for a cure.

Survivial rates are steadily on the rise for cancer patients - and that fact is more evident than ever at Hoag Cancer Center. Hoag’s survival rates exceed national averages for each of the four major cancers: lung, prostate, breast and colorectal (as reported by the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program). The best news is that Hoag’s survival rates continue to climb because the center is committed to continuously introducing the latest treatments to Orange County.

With its personal touch and tailored treatments, Hoag Cancer Center is winning the war against cancer - one patient at a time.

Child Guidance Center

Over 19,000 children were reported to the OC Child Abuse Registry as physically abused and or neglected in 2007.   That’s a sad reflection of just how many Orange County children and their parents are hurting and in need of help.   Regrettably, the negative consequences of untreated child abuse become more pronounced for the child with each passing year.   What may have originally been a matter of a hurting child, can too easily become that of a hurting, indiscriminately angry or underachieving adolescent with untold negative consequences for that adolescent and for the community.

Child Guidance Center, Inc., a 501 C (3) non-profit, works with as many of those children and parents as it possibly can through its innovative, award-winning child abuse prevention and treatment programs.  Less than 1% of children and families seen 10 or more visits in our Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) programs are referred a second time for abuse-related reasons. Child Guidance needs your support today to make an immediate significant difference in the lives of the many more children and families that need to be served.
