The CHOC Walk Helps Support CHOC Hospital: A Premier Destination for Children’s Health

CHOC Hospital: A Premier Destination for Children’s Health

CHOC Children’s Hospital has been meeting the needs of children and families with first-class care and state-of-the-art facilities since it opened it’s doors many years ago.  CHOC has emerged as an extensive healthcare system, featuring a main hospital in the city of Orange, a second hospital in Mission Viejo, 14 primary care health centers, and multiple community clinics and mobile health vans — ensuring that every child in Orange County has access to outstanding care.  A dear friend of mine niece, Jerrica, was a recipient of the wonderful care that CHOC Children’s Hospital provides and has a team this year walking in the CHOC Walk.

As a non-profit hospital, CHOC relies on community support to provide leading-edge care for infants, children and adolescents close to home.  The CHOC Walk fundraising ensures that they can continue to nurture, advance and protect the health and well-being of the children in our community.
 There is still time to donate to a special group (Read more about Team Jerr Bear) or to CHOC Hospital.  More details can be found here.
