CalMedForce Grant
CalMedForce $600,000 Grant! Congratulations to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center’s Department of Emergency Medicine for receiving a $600,000 CalMedForce grant to improve the training of our residents […]
WHY DONATE
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that serves to improve medical education for health care providers to ensure we are providing the highest-quality emergency medical care to the residents of the South Bay area of Los Angeles.
Resident Education
Your donations helped provide supplies for training Emergency Medicine residents, to fund their travel to ACEP, and win the national SimWars simulated resuscitation competition in both 2014 and 2015! We are training another team now for 2016!
Resident Well-Being
Each year, our hard-working residents are given a department-wide retreat to help teambuilding and promote wellness. Your donations allow us to provide physician coverage in the Emergency Department in their absence and ensure that patient care is unimpeded during this time.
Multidisciplinary Teaching
In addition to funding resident education, we work with nurses, nursing students, medical students, EMTs, paramedics, nurse practitioners, and others to ensure optimal patient care is delivered to our underserved Los Angeles County population.
Message from Dr. Hockberger, Chair Emeritus at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center
Dear Alumni,
Despite caring for critical patients on a daily basis, we rarely contemplate our own mortality. But time and experiences with family and friends who have or are about to complete their journeys provide us with the opportunity to reflect on our lives, and to think about those who have supported us and brought us joy along the way. With this thought in mind, Patty and I have decided to list the Harbor Emergency Medical Education Foundation as a beneficiary in our trust. I have spent my entire career at Harbor and being part of the Harbor Family has brought me a great deal of professional satisfaction and personal joy. Patty and I are healthy and plan to live long lives, so we may not even be remembered when our legacy donation comes to the Department, but this is also true of the nieces and nephews (and if we’re lucky, the great nieces and nephews) we have chosen to remember in our trust, and we are heartened to think that our contribution will continue to support the residents in Harbor’s training program in years to come. Madonna tells me that I am the first member of the Department’s Legacy Society. It is my hope that some of you will choose to join me.
