UCLA HEALTHCARE

For more than 50 years, UCLA has been recognized as a leader in patient care, medical research and teaching. The legacy that began in 1955 when UCLA Medical Center opened its doors in Westwood has grown to include four hospitals and a network of community offices, known as UCLA Healthcare.

• UCLA Medical Center , located in Westwood, is a nonprofit, self-supporting 668-bed hospital providing patient care in all medical specialties. It is the primary teaching hospital for the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

• Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital provides primary and specialty care to the local community and beyond.

• Lynda and Stewart Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA is a separately licensed acute psychiatric hospital providing adults, teens and children with a full continuum of psychiatric care, including inpatient, day hospital and outpatient services.

• Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA is a hospital-within-a-hospital that includes a 120-bed inpatient unit and an outpatient Children’s Health Center that together serve more than 34,000 patients each year. In addition to providing well-child care and immunizations, Mattel Children’s Hospital maintains the country’s leading pediatric organ transplant programs and is renowned for its research into pediatric cancers and epilepsy, as well as the genetics of childhood diseases.

The mission of the UCLA Medical Center is to provide excellent patient care in support of the educational and scientific programs of the schools of the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences.

UCLA Medical Center , with more than 600 beds, offers patients of all ages comprehensive care, from routine to highly specialized medical and surgical treatment. Some factors that contribute to our top rankings are specialized intensive care units, state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient operating suites, a Level-1 trauma center, the latest diagnostic technology, and a high level of commitment from our dedicated and experienced staff of over 1,000 physicians and 3,500 nurses, therapists, technologists and support personnel.
