JONSSON CANCER CENTER FOUNDATION/UCLA

What JONSSON CANCER CENTER FOUNDATION/UCLA does

The UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center is an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and a component of UCLA Health within the University of California system, operating as a public state-government entity rather than a privately held or traded company. Founded circa 1976, it runs an integrated platform combining clinical cancer services, translational research programs, SPORE-funded specialized research, and shared research infrastructure (including flow cytometry and related laboratory resources) across 15 cancer types. Its core offering comprises prevention, diagnosis, precision treatment, survivorship support, and clinical trial enrollment, delivered through the flagship Los Angeles academic medical center and 24 community clinic locations across Southern California.

The center is staffed by 500+ physicians, scientists and engineers working in tandem to move discoveries from the lab to the clinic, supported by an Office of Cancer Training & Education and a Translational Research Symposium Series. Revenue is generated through three streams: clinical care services billed through UCLA Health, philanthropy collected via the Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation (operating under the legal name "UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation" via channels including GiveButter), and research grants including NIH SPORE awards and institutional RAU funding. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed; patient access follows standard academic-medical-center insurance verification, financial counseling, and physician-referral pathways.

The entity maintains NCCN member status, partnership with The Lancet Commission on Cancer and Health Systems, and consistent U.S. News & World Report top-cancer-center recognition. It is HIPAA-compliant, serves as a Veterans Health Administration research collaborator, and operates within the University of California's consolidated public reporting framework, so individual revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
