Hospitals

USC’s Health Sciences campus is home to three state-of-the-art hospitals:

• USC University Hospital, a 411-bed acute care hospital owned and operated by USC, offers medical expertise and sophisticated technology combined with a personalized approach to health care.
• The USC Norris Cancer Hospital, a 60-bed inpatient facility, is one of only a few hospitals in the nation dedicated exclusively to the care of patients with cancer.
• The Doheny Eye Institute, affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine of USC, offers state-of-the-art vision care.

In addition, USC faculty physicians staff the nationally acclaimed Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, one of the largest teaching hospitals in the United States.

Outpatient Medical Services

Many USC physicians maintain private offices in Healthcare Consultation Centers I and II, both located adjacent to USC University Hospital on the Health Sciences campus. The centers feature services ranging from family medicine to PET/CT scans.

Beyond the university campuses, USC faculty physicians practice at several satellite locations, including the USC Westside Center for Diabetes, The Doctors of USC - Downtown and the USC Westside Prostate Cancer Center.
