Harbor-UCLA Medical Center is one of only five level one trauma centers in Los Angeles County and a major academic teaching hospital with nearly 450 residents and fellows in over 34 accredited programs on site as well as trainees from multiple other disciplines contributing to our mission. The hospital is the cornerstone of healthcare services for more than 700,000 residents in the greater South Bay area of Los Angeles County since 1946. Our Mission, Vision and Guiding Principles are statements of who we are, who we plan to be, and how we relate and support each other in the delivery of quality health care to our patients.
