Advanced Care Pavilion

No one should have to wait for life-saving care. Yet in Kern County, too many of our neighbors are waiting — for diagnoses, for specialists, for hope.

• Breast cancer — the most common cancer in pregnant and postpartum women — often goes undetected too long. Tumors can double in size in as little as 45 days.
• Lung cancer is more deadly here than almost anywhere else in California. Nearly half of patients are already at Stage 4 when diagnosed.
• Kern County has 61% fewer primary care physicians and 18.7 fewer specialists than the state average, leaving patients waiting weeks — sometimes months — for appointments.

The Pavilion will bring together life-saving specialties under one roof:

• Gynecologic oncology – expert care for women fighting ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers.
• Medical oncology and breast surgery – integrated cancer care and reconstruction options.
• Neurology and neurospine – stroke recovery and neurological treatment.
• Dermatology and skin cancer care – early detection for better outcomes.
• Advanced diagnostics – faster, more accurate imaging and testing.

Your generosity will help:

• Serve 45,000 patients annually with expanded specialty care.
• Ensure earlier diagnoses and shorter wait times for critical conditions.
• Bring cutting-edge treatment and research to our community.
• Strengthen our region’s ability to recruit and retain top specialists.
