“UCLA Medical Center is a true jewel in the Los Angeles and Southern California community,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky. “We are privileged to have a health care innovator in our city consistently known worldwide for its cutting-edge technological contributions, outstanding medical research and compassionate patient care. And we can be very proud of the fact that UCLA Medical Center has trained nearly 15,000 doctors who now serve the local, national and international community.”

“The partnership between the Medical Center and the David Geffen School of Medicine has resulted in extraordinary progress in medicine,” Levey said. “UCLA researchers and clinicians have broken ground in every field of medicine. With accomplishments spanning every discipline, UCLA Medical Center truly has reason to celebrate.”
