NEWPORT BEACH, CA \u2014 Hoag Health received a $30 million donation from longtime supporters Ron and Sandi Simon for a housing assistance program that is designed to support essential employees across the organization.<\/p>\n
The Simons will give $1.25 million annually in housing money for eligible Hoag employees, according to hospital officials. <\/p>\n
“Our caregivers are the cornerstone of everything we do at Hoag, and supporting them is fundamental to our long-term success,” Hoag Chief Human Resources Officer Michael Krug said. “This remarkable gift comes at a defining moment as we expand our workforce and reach across Orange County.”<\/p>\n
“By helping address housing affordability for our valued team members, we are investing in recruitment and retention and ensuring Hoag is well-positioned to meet the needs of our growing communities.”<\/p>\n
The Simons’ philanthropy has been benefiting Hoag for years, starting with the establishment of the Simon Scholars Program, which supports academically promising but underserved students from high school through college. <\/p>\n
The Simon family has also supported a broad range of initiatives at Hoag, including the Ron & Sandi Research, Innovation, and Education Fund, which hospital officials say has strengthened clinical research infrastructure and accelerated the launch of new clinical trials. <\/p>\n
“For decades, Ron and Sandi Simon have been extraordinary partners in advancing excellence, innovation and care at Hoag,” Hoag Hospital Foundation President Caroline Pereira said. “This gift builds on that legacy by investing directly in the people who make our mission possible every day.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEWPORT BEACH, CA \u2014 Hoag Health received a $30 million donation from longtime supporters Ron and Sandi Simon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-171226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
