Embedded in one of the most diverse cities in the country, we have expanded our efforts to reach the underserved and are strategically positioned to develop important projects that have major impact on quality of life for all of our communities. In particular, we focus on programs and services that are uniquely amenable to an academic health care center in terms of scale and expertise and not easily fostered or supported by other community and public services. Our annual, three-day Care Harbor clinic, incorporating interdisciplinary teams of medical, dental and vision professionals to provide free and often urgent care to low-income and homeless residents, is just one of the many examples. Our commitment to public service is a component of the world-class comprehensive health care that we routinely offer to patients who need us most, no matter the circumstances. We are inspired by the potential for healthier neighborhoods, families and futures and dedicated to solutions with sustainable and systemic foundations that address social, cultural and biological determinants of health. An example is our annual colon cancer awareness campaign that emphasizes the importance of testing, especially for those with increased risk, as the only way to prevent the disease. We strive to fill critical and unique gaps in community health. Our free treatment programs are examples. They include the UCLA Health Mobile Eye Clinic, UCLA Health Operation Mend which provides health care and mental health resources for military veterans and The UCLA Health Rape Treatment Center. These programs are ongoing and conducted with local and national partners and designed to serve people with limited access to health care services. Another initiative is UCLA Health Sound Body Sound Mind, which aims to combat childhood obesity by building comprehensive physical education programs at underserved middle and high schools. Each of these school face difficult budget challenges and rely on this program to supplement, or in some cases, provide the only physical education program to students. While much work remains, these and many other efforts at UCLA Health are designed to bring us closer to those who need us most, no matter the circumstance, because the promise of medicine — to cure disease, alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for all people — is our mission. Sincerely, Johnese Spisso, MPA President, UCLA Health CEO, UCLA Hospital System Associate Vice Chancellor, UCLA Health Sciences Fiscal Year 2018–19 Community Benefit Report 1 Serving the community By the numbers Provided Care Harbor clinic provided free medical, dental, vision and preventive care to 1,700 underinsured $289M and underserved Angelenos. 257 UCLA Health volunteers participated, including physicians, dentists, in charity care, Medi-Cal, optometrists and nurses. health education training, subsidized health services, Colon Cancer Awareness Month in-kind contributions, and campaign created a social media conversation that garnered 149 posts other community benefits with #UCLAColonChampion and in fiscal year 2018 – 19. fostered 23.3 million Twitter impressions.

  • Annual Report 2019-2020
    ENDOWMENT IN ACTION • 2020 DEAR FRIENDS, For more than 100 years, UCLA has met challenges with resolve and innovation and answered injustice with reflection and action. 2020 has called on us to do that more than any year in recent memory. Thanks to our stellar faculty, students, and staff — and in large part to your generosity — we are rising to the occasion. When you give to grow UCLA’s endowment, you are thinking ahead and allowing UCLA to look forward. These funds facilitate the university’s exceptional work and bolster us in exceptionally difficult times such as those we face now. Enclosed are a report on the performance of the endowed funds to which you have contributed, information about the university’s endowment, and messages from leaders of The UCLA Foundation and the UCLA Investment Company. Thank you for all you do for UCLA. Your leadership, advocacy, and philanthropy have helped solidify the university’s standing as the nation’s number one public university and a renowned leader in education, research, and service. Sincerely, Gene D. Block Chancellor 1 A NOTE FROM FOUNDATION LEADERSHIP Our vision at The UCLA Foundation is to be the partner of choice to UCLA leadership, students, and donors. An important aspect of being an effective partner is providing leadership and resources when challenges are most intense. The year 2020 has mandated that The UCLA Foundation be thoughtful, swift, and responsive, elevating its influence when circumstances required it the most. Additionally, thanks in large part to our donor base, our university is thriving and making the world a better place.

Block The 2011–12 academic year was filled with outstanding accomplishments by UCLA’s students, fac ulty and staff. It also marked my fifth year as UCLA’s chancellor. During that half decade, which has coincided with one of the most challenging periods for public funding of higher education in our nation’s history, our campus has thrived. Today, UCLA is stronger than ever and enjoys unprecedented respect and acclaim around the world. Todd Ceney/UCLA Photography Todd Thanks to our planning of the past several years and an extraordinary collective effort that is not only campus-wide but also extends to parents, alumni and donors, UCLA is well positioned to continue our upward trajectory toward our centennial in 2019 and beyond — despite the State of California’s continued disinvestment in our great institution. Academic and Research Excellence. UCLA’s reputation, nationally and interna- tionally, continued to soar in 2011–12.

  • Partners in Health
    Partners in Health Engaging in the Community Our Commitment to the Community To truly improve lives, UCLA faculty, researchers and students must leave the confines of the campus and connect directly with people in their communities. That is the goal of our community engagement initiative: to engage with a diverse group of partners to improve the health of the broader community. Today, community engagement is, with teaching, patient care and research, among the core missions of UCLA Health System and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. By partnering with organizations outside of UCLA, we: • Gain access to venues to train the next generation of healthcare professionals • Learn about our regional communities and how best to improve the health of the people living in those communities Our community engagement does not have geographic boundaries. It is all of those people to whom we provide patient care. It involves people working within our service-learning and research partnerships; and it involves our donor community, whose creativity and generosity are essential to helping UCLA maintain excellence and stay nationally competitive.
