Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian has broken ground on its CareMar Recovery Center for substance abuse treatment in Newport Beach.
The center is funded by a $25 million gift Hoag received last year from the Pickup and Martin families, local philanthropists and longtime supporters of the hospital. The gift was spearheaded by Carole Pickup, along with her children Devon Martin, Todd Pickup and their spouses, inspired by her decades commitment to addiction recovery.
“Given that nearly 370,000 residents in Orange County are affected by addiction, the center will provide access to innovative treatment programs,” Hoag Chief Executive and President Robert Braithwaite said in a statement.
CareMar will offer residential programs, intensive outpatient services and a “full spectrum of group, wellness, and family support resources” once it’s expected to open in 2028.
