there is such a generous community of donors and supporters who are dedicated to bringing excellent care to their families , their friends , and neighbors .”
In 2022 , Hoag announced the launch of the Boldly Hoag campaign , a multiyear fundraising effort to grow its hospital in Irvine on Sand Canyon Avenue , now named the Sun Family Campus after donors Diana and David Sun , who made a $ 50 million gift to the project .
The campus will grow to more than one million square feet and feature state-of-the-art specialty care centers for surgical innovation , cancer , and digestive and women ’ s health . Construction on the campus continues and the first phase is estimated to be completed in 2026 .
“ What inspires me most about the Sun Family Campus is how we ’ re expanding Hoag ’ s patient-centered care , which encompasses everything from the newly imagined physical spaces that blend high-tech and high-touch elements , the ability to grow research and clinical trials and make them available sooner and having the most specialized clinical experts to be partners in the health care journey ,” Pereira said .
In addition to the Irvine campus growth , in recent years Hoag has opened health centers and urgent care facilities across Orange County . This expansion is in line with Hoag ’ s response to the public ’ s evolving health needs and priorities . Hoag is creating more health resources and wellness offerings to emphasize prevention , education , and holistic approaches to well-being .
“ Wellbeing is a passion area of mine ,” Pereira said . “ Moving upstream from disease , prioritizing preventive health , and changing the course of a diagnosis . That ’ s what the community wants and I ’ m excited to help deliver more of that by building upon the stellar work of the Hoag Hospital Foundation .”
In collaboration with its Board of Directors , Pereira will lead the over 80-person Hoag Hospital Foundation team , with offices in Newport Beach and Irvine . Since its creation in the late 1970s , the Foundation has been instrumental in launching and executing major philanthropic initiatives supporting Hoag ’ s growth and expanding its clinical offerings .
Hoag Hospital Foundation Board Chair Debbie Margolis said , “ After a national search of exceptional talent , Caroline impressed us with her deep appreciation for Hoag ’ s vision . She understands the importance of guiding our talented Foundation team and the significance of partnering with donors who have propelled Hoag into the health system it is today . Philanthropy is the key to Hoag providing the best medical care in Orange County .”
Thanks in large part to philanthropy , Hoag has become one of the nation ’ s finest health care systems , serving a diverse and growing population . The Hoag Hospital Foundation , the philanthropic arm of Hoag , is an integral partner in Hoag ’ s vision to become a trusted and nationally recognized health care leader .
Through the generosity of Hoag ’ s dedicated donors , the Hoag Hospital Foundation ’ s Boldly Hoag campaign is supporting the expansion of Hoag , starting on the Irvine campus . Scheduled to be complete in 2026 , the new Sun Family Campus will provide increased access to specialized services for cancer , digestive health , and women ’ s health for communities throughout South Orange County .

OFF THE MENU
Crystal Cove Shake Shack Launches Special Summer Menu Inspired by OC Fair
Hot Cheetos menu items
By Christopher Trela | NB Indy The Orange County Fair starts July 19 , which means fairgoers can once again enjoy a variety of crazy cuisine normally found only at the fair .
But leave it to the Crystal Cove Shake Shack in Newport Coast to come up with a gastronomic homage to the OC Fair . This beloved icon on Coast Highway with a patio that overlooks the stunning coastline of Crystal Cove State Park has launched a special summer menu that draws inspiration from the culinary concoctions that have become synonymous with the OC Fair .
Among the OC Fair-inspired offerings :
• Hot Cheetos Burger : The highlight of the new menu , this burger is topped with Hot Cheetos , American cheese , lettuce , tomato , and a special housemade sauce .
• Hot Cheeto Dog : A spicy sensation , this juicy hot dog is topped with Hot Cheetos and all the fixings .
• Cookie Monster Shake : A vibrant blue-hued shake that combines the sweet , creamy flavors of cookies and cream with a colorful twist .
• Cinnamon Toast Shake : Infused with the comforting flavors of classic breakfast cereal , this shake is topped with a waffle and cinnamon .
• Hot Cheetos Shake : A vanilla milkshake is blended with Hot Cheetos , offering a unique com- bination of creamy sweetness and spicy crunch .
• Strawberry Pop-Tart Shake : A whimsical and colorful treat , this strawberry shake is topped with a strawberry Pop-Tart and rainbow sprinkles .
• Coffee Donut Shake : Combining rich coffee flavor with the indulgence of a full Old-Fashioned donut . Having made it a point of devouring as many wacky OC Fair food items as I can find every year , I can attest that these Shack Chack menu items fit right in — especially the hot Cheetos dishes . And if crazy food is not your thing , don ’ t worry — the regular menu will always be available .
The Crystal Cove Shake Shack is at 7703 East Coast Highway in Newport Coast . It is open daily from 7 a . m . to 9 p . m .

A tip on parking : the Shake Shack has limited parking , which is why there is often a lineup of vehicles on Coast Highway waiting to park , especially around lunchtime or dinner time . Be patient . Another option is to park in the Los Trancos parking lot ($ 5 per hour /$ 15 max ) and either walk to the Shake Shack ( about half a mile ) or take the shuttle ($ 1.50 per person ) to Cristal Cove State Park and climb the steep stairs to the Shake Shack .
