Why the Advanced Care Pavilion?
Transforming Access to Life-Saving Care in Kern County
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.
Specialties That Change Lives
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 Neuro Spine – stroke recovery and neurological treatment.
- Dermatology and Skin Cancer Care – early detection for better outcomes.
- Advanced Diagnostics – faster, more accurate imaging and testing.
