Westwood : UCLA Gets $100,000 Grant
The UCLA School of Public Health has received $100,000 to establish a fund for health services research.
The gift was made by Samuel and Audrey Tibbitts of San Marino. A UCLA graduate, Samuel Tibbitts is chairman of UniHealth America, the second largest hospital system in California, and chairman of PacifiCare Health Systems, a health maintenance organization.
In announcing the gift, Abdelmonem Afifi, dean of the school, said: “Our state and nation are facing critical decisions in how to provide and manage health care in the next 10 years. There has never been a more urgent need for research to help us understand and direct the course of those decisions.”
He thanked the Tibbittses for “their commitment to the school and the future of health care in the United States.”
