CELEBRATING CITY OF HOPE AND THE GRAND OPENING OF THE LENNAR FOUNDATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. KATIE PORTER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 18, 2022

  Ms. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today with my Orange County 
colleagues Congressman J. Luis Correa, Congresswoman Young Kim, 
Congressman Mike Levin, Congressman Alan Lowenthal, and Congresswoman 
Michelle Steel to recognize City of Hope and celebrate the grand 
opening of their Lennar Foundation Cancer Center in Irvine, California.
  We are proud that City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research 
and treatment organizations in the United States, has chosen Orange 
County for this advanced comprehensive cancer center. City of Hope's 
innovative research and world-class care will now be available to 
Orange County's 3.2 million residents. This will save lives.
  Nearly twenty percent of people with cancer in Orange County have 
left the area for advanced cancer care, with many spending hours 
commuting to the City of Hope facility in Los Angeles. Now, City of 
Hope's Lennar Foundation Cancer Center will offer Orange County 
patients a fully integrated experience--from prevention through 
survivorship--in a convenient location close to home. This Center will 
be home to some of the nation's most acclaimed physicians and 
scientists with expertise in lung, breast, gastrointestinal, 
gynecological, genitourinary, blood, and other cancers.
  On behalf of the residents of Orange County, we thank City of Hope 
for their unwavering commitment to cancer care and join in celebrating 
the grand opening of their Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer 
Center.
