Orange Coast Memorial Foundation Hosts Lotus Spring Ball

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. – The Orange Coast Memorial Foundation is hosting its Lotus Spring Ball on Saturday, May 14th at 6 p.m. at The Waterfront Beach Resort, A Hilton Hotel, located at 21100 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. Proceeds from the gala will help fund the new Emergency Pavilion at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center (OCMMC). The event’s Presenting Sponsors include 24/7 Care at Home, Images Luxury Nail Lounge, Saigon City Marketplace, Westlake Food Corporation and The Waterfront Beach Resort, A Hilton Hotel.

Those attending the ball will be treated to culture, dinner, dancing, and live musical entertainment from performance artists Henry Chuc, Lilian, Teresa Mai, Nam Khanh, the UCLA Kyodo Taiko Drum Band, and Viet Cam Dance, who will perform the “Lotus Dance.” Attendees will also enjoy a fashion show produced by Runway Entertainment which will feature designs by SEN Couture and Cynthia Bui.

Visits to OCMMC’s Emergency Department (ED) have grown by more than 32 percent in the past five years. Its ED treated nearly 34,600 patients in 2015 and has already treated 9,342 patients in the first three months of 2016.

Nationwide, emergency departments are closing at the rate of 25 percent in the last 20 years. To ensure it continues to provide advanced, life-saving care to those whose lives depend on it, OCMMC is embarking on a major expansion of its Emergency Department. The Emergency Pavilion will be twice the size of its current facility which will enable OCMMC to double its capacity, enhance patient privacy and ensure the prompt delivery of high quality medical care.

The new Emergency Pavilion will provide OCMMC’s served communities with the following amenities:

• An additional 4,980 square feet of space, for a total of 11,400 square feet
• 27 treatment areas including 16 private treatment rooms, with one exclusively for children
• 5 “fast track” stations for rapid medical evaluations
• Bedside registration
• Separate entrances for ambulances and walk-in patients
• Enhanced space for physician consultations
• A beautiful, spacious welcome area
• A chapel and healing garden
• A designated paramedic area

Individual tickets are $150 and sponsorship and underwriting opportunities are available.
