University of California Health
Breaking down barriers to better health.
We are California.
Together, we are more than you may know.
We are six academic health centers, 21 health professional schools, four children’s hospital campuses and a Global Health Institute.
We are all of these and more. We invite you to see how we deliver exceptional care, train the health professionals of tomorrow and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery. Our goal is to make a meaningful impact on your life.
Improving Lives
As an institution devoted to public service, University of California Health fosters compassion, inclusion, innovation and excellence—always keeping health access and equity in mind.
We do this in large and small ways. At each of our academic health centers and health sciences schools. Through national advocacy and hands-on action locally. Through the use of data to drive improvements in clinical care for each person and for communities as a whole.
Systemwide Expertise Wherever You Go
5 NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers
Our comprehensive cancer centers share information, knowledge and resources. They do this to better diagnose and treat cancer—from the most common to the rarest.
6 Academic Health Centers
Physicians, researchers and clinicians across UCH’s six academic health centers work together to bring systemwide expertise to each patient—regardless of location.
Cardiac Surgery Collective Expertise
For matters of the heart, you want exceptional care. Cardiac surgeons across UCH discuss cases, review data and deliver personal care—along with peace of mind.
Children’s Hospitals
At our four children’s hospital campuses, pediatric-focused experts and clinical trials offer the latest medical treatments—in environments tailored to meet children’s needs.
An Exceptional Education Leads to a Fulfilling Career

Health Education and Training Across California
With health professional schools on eight campuses and financial assistance available, we make health education accessible across California. We also offer training experiences that students find meaningful and memorable.
Championing Diversity and Equity
With UC PRIME, all of our medical schools go beyond typical medical student training. We prepare graduates to work in communities that often encounter barriers when trying to access high-quality health care.
