Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles is advancing its role as a leading institution in health care and education through new programs and expanded facilities. The hospital, the largest individual medical center in Southern California, is projected to generate $4.59 billion in net patient revenue for 2025, ranking just behind Stanford Hospital, UCSF Medical Center, and UCSD Medical Center in statewide revenue.
In 2024, Cedars-Sinai launched the Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University to train health care professionals, particularly focusing on students from marginalized communities in Southern California as well as current hospital employees. The initiative was established with a $30 million donation from The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation. The university celebrated its 14th graduating class in June, awarding certificates as well as doctoral and master’s degrees to 40 students, including the institution's first cohort from the Chuck Lorre Allied Health School. Peter L. Slavin, M.D., chief executive and president of Cedars-Sinai, highlighted the university’s growing impact on biomedical science, clinical care, and workforce development.
Adding to its clinical capabilities, Cedars-Sinai opened the Cayton BRCA Center in July to aid individuals with BRCA gene mutations in managing cancer risk. The center consolidates services such as screening, genetic counseling, fertility planning, treatment, and preventive care into a single location—a process that generally requires multiple appointments across different providers. This effort was made possible through a $30 million gift from the Cayton Goldrich Family Foundation. Cristina Ferrone, M.D., chair of the hospital’s Department of Surgery, emphasized the center’s unique model of care, which brings together expert physicians and recruits nationally recognized talent.
Meanwhile, construction continues on a new nine-story Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital in Marina del Rey, scheduled to open in 2025. This technologically advanced community hospital will operate alongside the existing facility, which remains open during construction. The new hospital will enhance Cedars-Sinai’s regional network, which includes affiliations with Huntington Health in Pasadena, Torrance Memorial Health, and Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana.
Founded in 1902, Cedars-Sinai also serves as the official medical provider for the upcoming LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The medical center is part of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Medical Network, supporting the health and preparation of athletes, coaches, and team personnel in the lead-up to the competitions. Slavin noted the alignment between the hospital’s commitment to advancing care and Team USA’s pursuit of excellence, underscoring the institution’s ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of patient care and community health.
