Why People Choose UCLA

More and more patients everywhere have discovered UCLA. Why? Because the experts agree that UCLA offers some of the world’s finest healthcare services. For our patients, we offer hope and the security of knowing that they will receive the most modern and advanced medical care available anywhere.

UCLA quickly earned its place as one of the best academic medical centers through an impressive series of remarkable advances. Following are some of the reasons that make UCLA so special:

• Consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as the best medical center in the western United States, ever since its ratings of the top hospitals in America began.

• Recognition as the best provider of geriatric medicine—the medical care of older persons— in the United States.

• Huge demand for our services led to the building of UCLA Medical Plaza, consisting of three modern, state-of-the-art outpatient facilities and the planned construction of an entirely new hospital.

• Our faculty are world-wide leaders in organizing international programs such as the International Consortium for Brain Mapping.
