Children’s Hospital of Orange County announced Monday it has received a $6 million donation that will help develop an urgent care center for kids.
The Tsao Family Foundation made the gift, which will help finance an urgent care center for South Orange County. The center is set to open next year.
“We are so grateful to the Tsao Family Foundation for their most generous gift,” Anita Sankaran Piskun, the hospital’s vice president of primary care, said in a statement. “CHOC’s urgent care centers provide a vital service to our patients and families, ensuring they have access to the right care at the right time. This wonderful gift from the Tsao Family Foundation will help us better service families in South Orange County when their pediatrician’s office is closed or an emergency department visit is unnecessary — all while keeping them close to home.”
Janie Tsao, who helped found the foundation with husband Victor, said they are “honored to support CHOC in its efforts to serve the children and families of Orange County.”
“Though our children are grown, they have brought us the joy of having four young grandchildren,” Tsao said. “Victor and I — as well as our sons, Michael and Steven, and their spouses, Yvonne and Yeshin — share the vision that all families should have convenient access to expert, compassionate medical care for their children, even when the pediatrician’s office is closed.”
