For more than 60 years, UCLA Health Medical Centers have provided the best in health care and the latest in medical technology to the people of Los Angeles and throughout the world. UCLA Health’s four hospitals on two Southern California campuses include Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center; UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center; UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital; and Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA.
Each year, UCLA Health sees more than 670,000 unique patients, has more than 73,000 emergency department visits and 36,000 hospital stays. In addition, UCLA’s hospitals have been the busiest transplant centers in the nation, performing more than 18,800 procedures since 1988, when shared data collection began. The hospitals’ comprehensive preparation made them leaders in the COVID-19 response. Their clinical labs were among the first in the country to develop in-house testing for COVID-19, reducing the time to get results from several days to a few hours and increasing the hospitals’ testing capacity.
As an academic medical center, it offers its patients the latest technologies as well as access to potentially life-saving new therapies and leading-edge clinical trials.

UCLA Health’s commitment to patient care, research and education means that its patients benefit from the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques in virtually every area of medicine.
