Anchor Mission
UCLA Health’s responsibility to advance health equity and justice extends beyond our walls. We commit to building strong community partnerships rooted in trust and collaboration while leveraging our assets to impact the socio-structural drivers that contribute to the well-being of our diverse communities.
The Healthcare Anchor Network is a network of more than 75 health systems throughout the United States. Anchor institutions in the network are place-based, mission-driven entities, such as a hospital, university, or government agency, that leverages its economic power alongside its human and intellectual resources to improve the long-term health and social welfare of their communities – especially the most divested and under-resourced communities.
Alongside our University of California sister campuses, we commit to leveraging the size, scale, and collective economic power of the UC Health system to advance health equity and address the unique place-based needs of surrounding communities, while recognizing the distinctiveness of each institution.
