Why does Orange Coast Medical Center need donations from the community?

Philanthropy is a vital source of funding for our mission and maintaining our edge of excellence. Income generated by our medical center cannot adequately cover the costs of the care we provide and the substantial investment in advancing our medical technology, research, facilities, service programs and community outreach each year. Contributions provide life-saving medical equipment, improve compassionate patient care, and enhance a wide range of programs.

We are committed to providing the comprehensive services, advanced medical techniques and best practices that our surrounding communities deserve. In fact, all operational revenue is reinvested back into the priority needs of our medical center.

Yes, you may specify your gift designation when making a gift online by including it in the comment box or by using the printable donation form. Funding priority areas include Emergency Services, our Cancer Institute, our Heart and Vascular Institute, our Maternity Center, our Breast Center, and our Neurosciences program.

Donors also have the opportunity to designate to "where the need is greatest" which then allows the Board of Directors flexibility in determining how to use the gift where it can have the greatest impact, address priorities and bring immediate benefits to our medical center as a whole.
