Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian CEO and president Robert Braithwaite says the separation is an opportunity for it. “We appreciate the relationships we built over the last several years with the Providence and St. Joseph teams. This move opens up new avenues of collaboration in the future, as each institution brings its unique strengths to bear in service of patient health.”

The California Attorney General’s office did not object to the end of the affiliation, which was the final task in completing the separation. As part of the dissolution, Hoag has agreed to expand reproductive health services in Orange County.


“In a time when reproductive rights are under attack, we have to take every reasonable step we can to protect and expand reproductive healthcare in California," said California Attorney General Rob Bonta. "The separation of Hoag from Providence will allow two strong health systems to continue to operate, while allowing Hoag to expand access to essential reproductive care in the area.”

Both health systems will work together to ensure a seamless transition. No other details will be shared in accordance with the confidential settlement agreement between them.
