Our Next Purpose

When you invest in UC Health through the Next, Now Campaign, you can: • Transform care through expanded programs and services for patients in every step of their healthcare journey.

We’re growing specialized, evidence-based programs like cancer survivorship, integrative health and palliative care—programs that embrace patients and their families holistically. Investing in comprehensive services, with special attention to healthcare disparities, will directly support our patients and establish industry-leading best practices for wellness and prevention.

• Build exceptional facilities that anticipate the future of medicine and can adapt to our community’s needs.

As we create modern, healing environments for essential patient care, we are envisioning a campus revitalization across the UC Medical Center.

Our Emergency Department is a peerless community resource, and our top priority. With a global reputation for expertise and a growing demand outpacing its existing capacity, our emergency care providers need a world-class space to match the advanced care and specialty training they provide.
