Seeking medical care away from home is an important decision. We are honored by the trust you place in us. Whether you are coming to UCLA Health for a second opinion, specialized treatment or care for a complex medical condition, our priority is to make every step of your experience as seamless and supportive as possible. From your first conversation with our team through every stage of your care, we are here to help you and your family. We want you to feel informed, supported and welcomed.

At UCLA Health, exceptional care begins with exceptional people. As one of the nation's leading academic health systems, our physicians, nurses, researchers and staff are united by a shared commitment to delivering outstanding patient care. At the same time, we advance medicine through discovery, innovation and education. The belief that every patient deserves to be cared for with compassion, dignity and respect guides everything we do.

Each year, we have the privilege of caring for thousands of patients and their families from more than 140 countries. Our International Services team is dedicated to guiding you through every aspect of your journey — from coordinating appointments and financial services to language support and ongoing care coordination. We manage the details so you can focus on what matters most — your health, your recovery and the people you love.

Our commitment to improving healthcare extends beyond caring for patients. UCLA Health partners with healthcare organizations around the world through strategic advisory services, leadership development, clinical education and specialized training programs. By sharing our expertise and collaborating with healthcare leaders internationally, we strive to strengthen health systems and expand access to high-quality, sustainable care in communities across the globe.

On behalf of everyone at UCLA Health, thank you for considering us. It is a privilege to care for patients from around the world. We would be honored to be part of your healthcare journey.
