New signage featuring both hospitals (above) can be seen inside Dodger stadium and during televised games. A new promotional video is also airing during all home games, and this season three USC patients will throw first pitches at different games.

“Partnering with the Los Angeles Dodgers aligned the Keck Hospital of USC brand with another iconic brand in Los Angeles, and now we're exited to announce a winning double play as USC Norris Cancer Hospital also takes the field,” said hospital CEO Mitch Creem. “We are now even better positioned to bring Dodgers fans timely health information through in-stadium promotions and educational opportunities. The addition of USC Norris Cancer Hospital also allows us to expand our community outreach through many activities that will be fun and educational for our patients, their families and our employees and friends.”

 

Over the course of the season, Keck Hospital of USC and USC Norris Cancer Hosptial  doctors, nurses and staff have opportunity to participate in special Dodger-related events, batting practice, and ticket giveaways.
