  • Spiritual Care “Tea for the Soul” Program: provides a time for harried doctors, nurses and other medical staff to unwind and regroup
  • The Tiverton Health & Wellness Hotel: a patient/patient family 100-room hotel that makes it possible to be nearby when support and closeness are needed most.
  • Adopt-A-Family Program: aiding over 250 families grappling with medical and economic challenges during the holiday season

  • Financial Awards: given to deserving medical and nursing students, and student volunteers

The UCLA Health Auxiliary is a vital resource for funding – especially when no other resources are available.
