2021 Top Hospital or Medical Center of the Year Honoree: City of Hope


CITY OF HOPE

City of Hope has been delivering outstanding compassionate care for more than a century, combining treatments at the leading edge of science for advanced cancer patients with a model that cares for the whole patient and their family – emotionally as well as physically. This unique patient experience, along with their innovative research, has earned City of Hope designation as a National Cancer Institute comprehensive cancer center, an honor earned by just 4% of U.S. cancer centers. In 2021, City of Hope also earned its first Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, a recognition earned by only 9% of U.S. hospitals.

With this foundation, City of Hope has embarked on a visionary transformation that is expanding its physical footprint throughout Southern California, extending the reach of its world-class cancer expertise to a virtual audience around the country, and making advances in genetic and personalized medicine to make it possible to develop more effective treatments for more types of cancer, as well as other serious conditions like diabetes.

City of Hope’s extension of its expertise encompasses new partnerships and new ways of reaching people in need of cancer treatment. An example is its subsidiary, AccessHope, where City of Hope partners with employers around the country to provide employees with direct access to City of Hope’s cancer expertise – a  level of access that would otherwise be unavailable to many of them.
City of Hope is also a growing leader in the biotech industry and has developed 87 investigational new drugs and is conducting its own clinical trials.
