Come together for UCI Health this Giving Day. Every gift counts. Support an area that matters most to you.
 
When you make a gift to UCI Health and the UCI Susan & Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences, Orange County’s only academic health system, you change lives in our community, around the globe and across generations. We are dedicated to making groundbreaking discoveries, training the next generation of healthcare professionals and advancing therapies in patient care across all areas.
 
We are expanding these efforts with UCI Health — Irvine, our new, state-of-the-art medical campus which will include a 144-bed general acute care hospital with an emergency department, the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and Ambulatory Care building and the Joe C. Wen & Family Center for Advanced Care. The medical complex will support the health system’s growing primary and specialty care network in coastal and south Orange County. As a result, we can provide additional first-of-a-kind clinical trials, life-enhancing therapies and complex procedures only found at the world’s top research and academic health institutions — right in your own backyard.
 
UCI Giving Day is a celebration of our community and its many achievements. It’s a day to support our clinicians, researchers and students, all of whom are committed to revolutionizing health and wellness. Your gift today will help transform the future of healthcare through leading-edge research, innovative education and exceptional treatment of the most common as well as the rarest conditions and diseases.
 
With passionate partners like you by our side, we are not only practicing medicine, we are creating it. This Giving Day, we will build a healthier tomorrow for all. Let’s create a brilliant future together.
