Hoag Health System advances medical innovation through initiatives like its nationally recognized robotic surgery program, which recently surpassed 30,000 robotic-assisted procedures and celebrates over 20 years of operation. Hoag has earned the designation of a center of excellence in robotic surgery for eight consecutive years, thanks to its dedicated team of 47 surgeons and 10 da Vinci robots that support minimally invasive surgeries across 12 specialties. The system’s recent milestones include the planned expansion of addiction recovery services with the forthcoming CareMar Recovery Center, made possible by a $25 million gift, and the deployment of the HistoSonics Edison Histotripsy System, an FDA-approved, non-invasive ultrasound therapy for liver cancer. Further expanding its innovative reach, Hoag is applying AI to mammography to enhance diagnostic accuracy and support radiologists. The health system is also growing its physical footprint with a new, full-service health center in San Clemente, Calif. opening in 2025, offering urgent care, radiology, OB-GYN, orthopedics and more.
