Center projects will take place at UC campuses with a small coordinating staff based at the UC Office of the President in Oakland. The center will be a best practices clearinghouse and provide financial support for projects at individual UC campuses that could be extended throughout the UC system to improve wellness and enhance the delivery of healthcare, according to the report.
The center’s board includes the six UC medical school deans, five UC medical center CEOs and chair John Stobo, MD, UC senior vice president for health sciences and services.
Terry Leach, UC Office of the President manager of health policy, has been appointed by the board to serve as interim executive director.
Funding for the center will be provided by each of the five UC medical centers (UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC San Diego and UC San Francisco) and will come from money generated from the California Hospital Fee Program.
