Scheduled to open in 2026, Hoag’s reimagined Sun Family Campus in Irvine will be built around the Du Family Hospital Pavilion in honor of a generous $25 million gift from long-time philanthropists Ben and Carmela Du. The Du Family Hospital Pavilion will serve as a focal point welcoming patients and visitors to Hoag’s $1 billion expansion project in Irvine.
“The Du family’s extraordinary vision and dedication has improved and will continue to improve access to the highest-quality care throughout Orange County for generations to come,” said Robert T. Braithwaite, president and CEO of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. “The Du Family Hospital Pavilion will stand as a beacon to a campus where visitors’ health care needs are met by innovative, comprehensive and holistic programs. It is appropriate that this sweeping transformation in health care will bear the names of visionary benefactors like Ben and Carmela.”
While residents of Newport Beach, Ben and Carmela have long felt that supporting Hoag’s expansion in Irvine was a logical choice. “The campus is central to more communities. We feel it’s important that Hoag is expanding its reach. We are honored to be involved and to support the Irvine area and other growing South County communities,” Ben said.
