Hoag initially began in Newport Beach as a community-based hospital and has since expanded with the growth of Orange County's population. Hoag is now considered a top-rated medical provider that is devoted to the health of our local communities and has served the residents of Huntington Beach well. Hoag has demonstrated a strong commitment to our City, and it is essential to support their mission to expand and transform their health care delivery model in the region. Their investments in Huntington Beach include the Hoag Health Care Center and two urgent care facilities. Hoag has also donated millions towards the Huntington Beach Senior Center in Central Park as a sign of their continued partnership with the City. In 2014, Hoag became affiliated with St. Joseph's Hospital System to expand its network and better serve the Orange County area. Two years later, St. Joseph (and therefore, Hoag) became affiliated with Seattle-based Providence Health. Hoag's founders, Board of Directors, physicians, and staff believe that this affiliation with a health care system outside Orange County does not further their mission to transform the quality of care locally. To better serve our region's needs, Hoag and its representatives are currently seeking independence from Providence and a return to a community-based hospital model. Hoag believes that this path will allow Hoag's local physicians and staff to determine and deliver the best course of care for Orange County patients. RECOMMENDED ACTION I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to prepare a Resolution, similar to the attached document, to support Hoag's efforts to seek independence from its current affiliation with Seattle-based Providence Health. 815 RESOLUTION NO. 2020-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ACKNOWLEDGING HOAG MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PRESBYTERIAN FOR THEIR CONTINUED DELIVERY OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEALTH CARE AND SUPPORTING THEIR EFFORTS TO SEEK INDEPENDENCE AS A COMMUNITY-BASED HOSPITAL FOR ORANGE COUNTY WHEREAS, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian(Hoag) was founded in Newport Beach as a community hospital in 1952 by the Association of Presbyterian Members of Hoag and the George Hoag Family Foundation to support the Orange County community; and WHEREAS, from 1952 to 2020 Hoag has expanded from a small facility serving west Orange County to a top-rated regional health care provider with two full-service hospitals and thirteen clinics in the County; and WHEREAS, in 1978 the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Foundation was formed with Dr. Arnold O.
