Visit to Tijuana Orphanage
Earlier this summer the CORE Kidney Team and Bruin Beans Health Club members visited an orphanage in Tijuana. At the orphanage, members helped cook nutritious meals, give informational talks, and engage in fun activities. We can't wait to visit again next summer! If you're interested in helping out this initiative in any way please reach out to the team.
Monthly Chats
Each month Anjay Rastogi, MD, PhD, and the UCLA Health CORE Kidney Team host a highly informative monthly chat. Our previous chats have covered important topics like living with kidney disease, nutrition, and even dentistry advice. We hope you'll join us for our next monthly chat on October 1st!

In the previous years of being a part of this parade, the float won the prestigious 2024 Isabella Coleman Award for the most outstanding presentation of color and color harmony through floral design.
