UCLA Fielding School of Public Health’s Center for Healthcare Management and Paul Torrens Chair in Healthcare Management are dedicated to bringing together top academic researchers, students, and established healthcare executives and practitioners to explore critical issues in the management of healthcare organizations, while improving the state of knowledge and practice. The Center for Healthcare Management will draw from the expertise of industry leaders to shape research questions designed to influence healthcare management practices. The Center was launched with a lead gift from Richard (MPH ’77) and Patricia Sinaiko, and Greg Sinaiko (MPH ’01), creating the Sinaiko Innovation Fund for Healthcare Management. The Paul Torrens Chair in Healthcare Management, housed in the Center for Healthcare Management, will support the teaching and research activities of a faculty member. The chair is named in honor of Paul Torrens, a professor emeritus who has been on the school’s faculty since 1972 and has taught and mentored numerous individuals who went on to become key figures in the field of healthcare management. The Chair was created with a lead gift from the Don S. Levin Trust and Edna & Tom Gordon. Gifts to the Center and Chair will help to advance our work in healthcare management, further strengthening the Fielding School of Public Health’s role as a premier academic destination for healthcare leaders. Thank you for your support!
Gifts are managed and invested in accordance with UCLA’s endowment investment policies. The total return earned in excess of the amount approved annually for payout will be retained in the endowment principal to protect from the effects of inflation and to allow for growth. At the Chancellor’s discretion, when the payout is not needed for purposes of the fund, the return of payout may be added to the endowment fund principal. In the event the fund does not reach endowment minimum; or the program ceases to exist at UCLA, proceeds from the fund will be utilized in an area and manner as closely related as possible to the original intent and purposes for which the fund was established.
