    RECOGNIZING THE GRAND OPENING OF CITY OF HOPE IN NEWPORT BEACH,

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HARLEY ROUDA

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 16, 2020

  Mr. ROUDA. Madam Speaker, I, along with Representatives Gilbert R. 
Cisneros, Jr., J. Luis Correa, Mike Levin, Alan Lowenthal, Katie 
Porter, and Linda T. Sanchez, rise to recognize the grand opening of 
City of Hope in Newport Beach, California. This is City of Hope's first 
Orange County location and it will make a tremendous impact in 
enhancing the lives of residents by providing highly specialized care 
and pioneering cancer research closer to home. City of Hope is a 
National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Each 
year, more than 100 million people worldwide benefit from scientific 
and clinical discoveries made at City of Hope. For the first time, 
Orange County residents will have local access to City of Hope's 
network of world-renowned cancer specialists and groundbreaking 
treatments.
  With the opening of City of Hope's Newport Beach location, the 
organization, which has been named by U.S. News & World Report as the 
top-ranked cancer hospital in California, fulfills its promise of 
providing lifesaving treatments to Orange County and launches a new era 
in cancer care. City of Hope is also developing a comprehensive cancer 
campus in Irvine, California.
  City of Hope was founded more than a century ago to address a 
pressing medical need. Its arrival in Orange County also answers the 
call of a community where nearly 20 percent of cancer patients have 
needed to leave the area for advanced cancer care. City of Hope is 
bringing the latest in personalized therapies, highly specialized 
physicians, and nationally recognized compassionate care to our local 
community, which will positively impact patient healing.
  We ask that all Members join us in recognizing the extraordinary work 
and contributions of City of Hope and their efforts to eradicate cancer 
and bring tomorrow's discoveries to the people who need them today, in 
Orange County and around the world.
