Hope, Delivered to All.
About HACE

HACE, the Office of Health Access and Community Enrichment, builds trust within City of Hope's workforce and extends that same commitment to the communities we serve — guided by three pillars: Culture of Inclusion, Community Benefit, and Health Access & Impact. Health equity is built one relationship, one neighborhood, and one life at a time.

Three pillars. One foundation.

Everything HACE does is built on three interconnected commitments — working together to close the gap between City of Hope and the communities we serve.
Culture of Inclusion

Culture of Inclusion

We believe innovation and healing are strongest in environments where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected.

Community Benefit

Community Benefit

We invest in programs, partnerships, and services that reduce barriers to health and support the communities who need it most.

Health Access & Impact

Health Access & Impact

We're redesigning the patient journey so everyone can access the expert care they need, no matter where they live or how they're insured.

Measured in more than data.
