The UC Board of Regents on Thursday approved plans for a new medical care center at UC Irvine, paving the way for the construction of what will be a 144-bed acute care facility, ambulatory care center and cancer center at its completion. It is expected to cost $1 billion.
The facility, which will be on the northern edge of the university’s campus, joins the UCI Health Center for Advanced Care to create what university officials are calling the UCI Medical Center Irvine-Newport. The center will interface with the UC Irvine primary care network throughout Orange County, which includes its newest clinic in Newport Beach that opened in August.
