PASE Program

United States

(Los Angeles, UCLA, UCSF, UC Berkeley)

Overview

Based in Los Angeles, PASE’s U.S. portfolio advances surgical equity through innovative clinical programs, community-engaged research and health systems transformation. In partnership with UCLA, UCSF, community organizations and national and global partnerships, our work addresses upstream drivers of injury and disparities in care, including violence, social determinants of health and barriers to access, while integrating trauma-informed and whole-person approaches across care delivery.
