Community Grants

To implement our community benefit plan, we have chosen to partner with community non-profit organizations and affiliated USC organizations whose programs align with the strategic priorities identified in our hospitals’ Community Health Needs Assessments & Implementation Strategies.

We support various charitable causes that are consistent with our mission, values, and business objectives.
