UCLA Health

About Us

UCLA Health is among the most comprehensive and advanced health care systems in the world. Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art patient care, generate research discoveries leading to new treatments and diagnoses, and train future generations of health care professionals. Together, the UCLA Hospital System and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA strive every day to be a leader in setting the standards of excellence.

For 37 consecutive years, UCLA Health hospitals have earned a place on the U.S. News & World Report national honor roll, a distinction reserved for only 20 hospitals or health systems providing the highest-quality care across multiple medical specialties. In 2026, U.S. News ranked UCLA Health #1 in both California and in Los Angeles*.

UCLA Health consistently performs well in a variety of other assessments of quality and safety conducted by independent publications, accreditation bodies, advocacy groups and disease-specific organizations using a wide range of methodologies.

As an academic health system, UCLA Health offers access to technology and treatments that may not be available elsewhere. Our physicians are world leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of complex illnesses.

UCLA Health doctors and scientists are pioneering work in an astounding range of disciplines – from organ transplantation and cardiac surgery to neurosurgery and cancer treatment – and are bringing the latest discoveries to virtually every field of medicine.
