History

Mission Hospital was founded in Mission Viejo in 1971 by a group of proactive, physicians who realized the need for accessible, quality medical care to serve the growing community. Over the decades, Mission Hospital has continued to develop new programs and services to meet the community's ever changing needs. In 1993, Mission Hospital partnered with CHOC Children's to provide pediatric services and a year later, became a member of the St. Joseph Health, which is a nonprofit Catholic health care ministry founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. In 2009, Mission Hospital expanded its geographic footprint to include South Orange County's coast line by acquiring Mission Hospital Laguna Beach.

Mission Hospital is committed to the highest ethical principles in delivering quality health care. It is equally committed to the healing mission of the Catholic Church, which provides our ministry with those social and moral principles.

Through this hospital corporation and its services, programs, and works, the leadership of Mission Hospital seeks to give public witness to the gospel values of Christ's healing ministry by providing health care to the civic and adjoining communities of south Orange County. Services provided by Mission Hospital and its employees, contribute to the central mission of healing in Christ's name.

Each person performs a significant role in accomplishing that mission by striving to provide excellent service in a manner that is compassionate and respectful. Mission Hospital assumes a leadership role in assessing and responding to the needs of the community, especially the needs of the medically underserved and disadvantaged persons.
