Funding Priorities

As the fundraising arm of the medical center, the Foundation’s mission is to ensure LA General retains its global distinction as a medical center of the highest caliber care and as a teaching institution that trains the next generation of clinical leaders serving LA County and trauma centers across the U.S. and the world.

This critical system of care is facing the most challenging budget crisis in its history, threatening access to care for hundreds of thousands of Angelenos. LA General continues to deliver some of the best care in the country with extraordinary results, receiving national and global recognition for excellence, innovation, and workplace culture. LA General is not just weathering the storm—it’s setting a national standard for excellence in healthcare.
