The alliance between UCLA Health and the Lakers starts with our joint efforts on lifelong health and fitness wellness programming which supports youth organizations such as Boys & Girls clubs of America and LA’s Best Afterschool Enrichment Program. Between these 2 programs we impact over 100,000 children each season. This partnership is an integral part of UCLA Health’s research in injury prevention and sports performance. UCLA Health is also the naming rights Partner of the Lakers Training Center in El Segundo, California. This presence allows UCLA Health to use the Training Center as a home to host youth clinics, basketball tournaments, educational conferences and other community events to further engage in our joint community mission. The UCLA Health Training Center is a symbol of our shared commitment to improving the health of the world, the importance of fitness and the belief that sports have the power to unite people and communities. UCLA Health serves as the official health care provider of the Los Angeles Lakers.
