UCLA Medical Center Auxiliary
The UCLA Medical Center Auxiliary has provided support for Medical Center programs and patients for nearly 50 years. In June of 1955, shortly after the doors to the new UCLA Medical Center opened, the Regents formally accepted the plan to establish an Auxiliary. The Auxiliary was formed as a support group and community liaison for the Medical Center. Funds raised by the Auxiliary support patient aid, grants for special projects and equipment for the Medical Center and scholarships for medical and nursing students and student volunteers.
The Auxiliary has 400 members and provides complimentary membership to hospital volunteers. The Auxiliary presents lectures of interest to its general membership and hosts award and recognition programs during the year. Membership is open to all.
