An adult cystic fibrosis clinic at Keck Hospital of USC has received a $1 million gift from the Anton Yelchin Foundation.

The Hollywood-based foundation presented its donation to the Boyle Heights hospital on Oct. 22 to honor the late actor who suffered from the disease.

The clinic, which had provided care for the Russia-born “Star Trek” film star for 10 years before his death two years ago at age 27 in an accident at his home in Studio City, was renamed the Anton Yelchin Cystic Fibrosis Clinic.

Victor and Irina Yelchin, who created the foundation in memory of their son, said the clinic staff was like a family to him. When he needed help, his parents said, the staff was always there.

“Anton had a generous spirit,” said Victor Yelchin, chief executive and board president of the foundation, said in statements that included his wife Irina. “This gift not only reflects our gratitude to the clinic, but also Anton’s dedication to helping others.”

About 30,000 people in the U.S. have cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease that affects the mucus and sweat glands, causing buildup in the lungs that can cause infections, sinusitis and poor weight gain and growth, according to USC.

Medical advances in the past half century, however, have quadrupled the lifespan of those with the disease.

Despite his illness, Yelchin played numerous TV and movie roles, including teenage navigator Paul Chekov in “Star Trek,” “Star Trek into Darkness” and “Star Trek Beyond.”

“Because of Anton’s strong will and the dedication of the cystic fibrosis team at USC,” Irina Yelchin said, “He lived an exceptional, productive life.”
