The Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and Ambulatory Care building will open to patients in July. The final phase will be a 144-bed acute care hospital featuring a 24-hour emergency department, which will open in 2025.</p> </div></div> <p>When its new Irvine medical complex opens its doors to patients on April 30, UCI Health will bring the power of academic medicine to coastal and south Orange County, fundamentally changing the region’s healthcare landscape.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/locations/irvine/center-for-advanced-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe C. Wen & Family Center for Advanced Care</a>, the first of three state-of-the-art buildings to open at the <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/irvine-medical-center" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UCI Health — Irvine campus</a>, will offer primary and specialty outpatient care for adults and children, all conveniently located under one roof on Jamboree Road and Birch Street.</p> <p>A key mission of the five-story Wen center is to deliver the finest multidisciplinary care in a setting that emphasizes convenience and comfort. Many patient needs can be met at the center during a single trip, including physician visits, laboratory tests and imaging.</p> <p>“The Joe C. Wen & Family Center for Advanced Care will provide access to comprehensive outpatient care in critical clinical specialties that are only available from an academic health system,” says Chad T. Lefteris, president and chief executive officer of UCI Health.</p> <p>Construction of the $221 million, 168,000-square-foot facility was approved by the University of California Board of Regents in August 2020 and was augmented by a <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/news/2022/06/wen-family-gives-$20-million-for-uci-health-care-center-in-irvine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$20 million gift from Joe C. Wen and his family</a>. Wen is the founder and chief executive of Sakura Paper Inc., a division of Formosa Ltd. The gift is one of the largest ever to the University of California, Irvine.</p> <p><strong>A nexus of leading-edge care</strong></p> <p>The Wen center is divided into spaces devoted to pediatric primary and specialty care, adult primary care, as well as digestive health specialties, cardiovascular care, endocrinology, gynecology, neurology, orthopaedics, pain and spine centers.</p> <p>Comprehensive lab and imaging services are located on the first floor, as is the new home of the UCI Health <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/autism-neurodevelopmental-services" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Center for Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders</a>.</p> <p>Also on the first floor is an <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/urgent-care-services" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">urgent care center</a> staffed seven days a week by emergency medicine physicians, along with a cafe and an outdoor garden. An adjacent 800-space structure provides ample parking and easy access to patients and their families.</p> <p><strong>Advanced pediatric care</strong></p> <p>The Center for Children’s Health occupies the entire second floor of the Wen center.</p> <p>Through the long-standing UCI Health affiliation with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), the center provides leading-edge pediatric care from birth through early adulthood, including fetal medicine and primary and specialty care for kids with chronic conditions.</p> <p>Staffed by board-certified pediatricians, the Center for Children’s Health is designed to foster one-stop, outpatient healthcare.</p> <p><strong>Digestive disease specialties</strong></p> <p>The Wen center’s third floor will be home to several signature services offered by the nationally renowned <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/digestive-health-institute" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UCI Health Digestive Health Institute (DHI)</a>. They include subspecialty services focused on <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/inflammatory-bowel-disease-ibd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">inflammatory bowel disease</a>, <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/weight-control-center" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">weight control and metabolic conditions</a>, <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/esophageal-disease/gerd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)</a>, as well as four interventional gastrointestinal procedure rooms.</p> <p>UI Health digestive disease specialists have pioneered numerous advances in gastrointestinal (GI) healthcare, including endoscopic procedures, organ-sparing surgical techniques and the use of artificial intelligence in colorectal cancer screening. Patients also will have access to groundbreaking therapies unavailable elsewhere.</p> <p>Elsewhere on the third floor are adult primary and specialty care services, including <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/womens-health" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gynecology and women’s health</a>.</p> <p><strong>Comprehensive neuromuscular center</strong></p> <p>On the Wen center’s fourth floor, UCI Health is opening its first comprehensive musculoskeletal service, blending specialty care for <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/orthopaedics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">orthopaedics</a>, <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/spine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">spine</a>, <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/pain-wellness-center" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pain management</a>, <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/sports-medicine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sports medicine</a> and <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/neurology" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">neurology</a> in one location to foster collaborative, multidisciplinary care.</p> <p>Also on the fourth level are <a href="https://www.ucihealth.org/medical-services/cardiology" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cardiology services</a>, including six exam rooms and two diagnostic testing areas.</p> <p><strong>Coming soon</strong></p> <p>The second phase of the $1.3 billion Irvine medical complex, the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and Ambulatory Care building, will open to patients in July.</p> <p>Together, the Wen and cancer centers will foster research efforts — the foundation of an academic health system — giving patients access to the latest, most promising new therapies unavailable elsewhere.</p> <p>The final phase of the Irvine medical complex will be a 144-bed acute care hospital complete with a 24-hour emergency department, which are scheduled to open in 2025.</p> <p>“This medical center will have a such positive impact on so many lives,” says Donna Hurt, director of ambulatory care administration, who has helped oversee staffing and service operations for the Wen center. “I’m honored to be a part of such great work.”</p> </div> </article> </main>  </div> <aside class="col-lg-8 sidebar-area sidebar-right no-print"> <div class="widget"> <h2
