The Children’s Hospital of Orange County’s mission is to nurture, advance and protect the health and well-being of children. That’s why CHOC is dedicated to working cooperatively — assisting and enriching existing services as well as developing programs to benefit the families of Orange County. In fiscal year 2005, over 200,000 children came through their doors for inpatient, outpatient and emergency room visits — regardless of their family’s ability to pay !
