Hoag-St. Joseph Plan Moves Along; Kaiser Opens Anaheim Hospital

The Federal Trade Commission cleared a plan by Orange-based St. Joseph Health and Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach to create an integrated regional healthcare network.

Hoag and St. Joseph’s next will submit the plan to state Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office by the end of September. The yet-unnamed Hoag-St. Joseph collaboration, announced last month, will create a nonprofit corporation with its own board. Each existing system will retain its identity and faith affiliation. St. Joseph is a Catholic system, and Hoag is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.

Hoag is made up of its main Newport Beach hospital and a second campus in Irvine. St. Joseph Health’s local facilities include St. Joseph Hospital-Orange, St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton and Mission Hospital, with campuses in Mission Viejo and Laguna Beach. It also owns St. Mary Medical Center in Apple Valley.

Also last week, Kaiser Permanente opened its new 262-bed hospital on La Palma Avenue in Anaheim.

The $461 million hospital has 434,000 square feet of space, 36 emergency bays, 10 operating rooms and 10 labor and delivery rooms.

Kaiser’s La Palma hospital replaces its hospital on Lakeview Avenue that opened in 1979. Kaiser, which operates Orange County’s largest health maintenance with nearly 456,000 members, also has a hospital on Sand Canyon Avenue and Alton Parkway in Irvine.
