A $25 million gift from longtime philanthropists Ben and Carmela Du will help Hoag Hospital with its Irvine expansion, scheduled to open in 2026.

The Du Family Hospital Pavilion will “serve as a focal point welcoming patients and visitors to Hoag’s $1 billion expansion project in Irvine” that will be known as the Sun Family Campus at Hoag Hospital, officials announced this week.

“Giving back is an important part of our family legacy,” Carmela Du said. “We are inspired by Hoag’s work to redefine the future of healthcare, right here in Orange County. We fully support the vision of Hoag’s expanded care.”
