University of California Irvine Health received a $20 million gift to support its $1.2 billion hospital campus that will house a 144-bed acute care facility, ambulatory care center and cancer center.
In recognition of the donation from the Chao family, a longtime benefactor of UCI Health, the health system will name the cancer center at its new campus The Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and Ambulatory Care.
