Children's Hospital Of Orange County

Search Orange California

CHOC opened its doors in 1964 as a 62-bed hospital. By 1974, the demand for CHOC services had outgrown its facilities. The Board of Directors then purchased an unoccupied skilled nursing facility and renovated the five-story building into an acute care pediatric hospital. This increased CHOC's capacity to 161 inpatient beds.

The demand for children's services continues to grow, technology continued to advance and the hospital facilities continued to age, so the Board of Directors elected to build a replacement facility for all inpatient services. This new facility opened in November of 1991 as a state-of-the-art regional Children's Hospital serving the needs of children throughout Orange County and parts of the surrounding counties. CHOC is now licensed for 192 beds, treats approximately 7,500 inpatients per year and sees almost 100,000 outpatients annually through their clinics and emergency services.
