Adventist Health White Memorial
Los Angeles, California
The goal is to replace the traditional model that the hospital has used to recruit and hire nursing professionals with a long-term strategy that encourages local high school students to pursue nursing careers, help nursing students graduate and pass their licensing exams, and encourage new nursing professionals to remain in their communities by starting their nursing careers at the hospital.
AMOUNT: $450,000
TERM: 24 months

Collaboration
These local students graduate and remain to care for people in their own community. Sharing a common language and culture, as well as local roots helps contribute to a speedier recovery, greater patient satisfaction and higher nurse retention rates.

Collaboration
in Action
For over 15 years, Adventist Health White Memorial Medical Center has worked in collaboration with TELACU Foundation in East Los Angeles to locally recruit into the nursing profession. The program encourages people who live in the community to work in their community while also providing relevant and culturally competent healthcare to their community.
UniHealth Funding Initiative
Pathway to Health and Home
UniHealth Foundation has partnered with Cedars-Sinai and Providence Southern California to commit $15 million in grantmaking and program-related investments over two years to improve the healthcare of those experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County. The funding initiative, called Pathway to Health and Home, identifies collaborations and partnerships between healthcare and housing providers to better integrate clinical services into interim and supportive housing units.
