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

CANCER CENTER

______

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.
