The UCLA Bixby Center to Advance Sexual and Reproductive Health Equity was established in 2001 at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health as the result of a generous gift from the Fred H. Bixby Foundation. The Center has grown since then with the support of several additional Bixby Foundation gifts.
