About the Center

Help Is Here

The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Prevention (RLC) opened at USC Norris in 2024 through a generous contribution from The Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation. We help people in the Greater Los Angeles Area access cancer screenings, follow up on test results, and find the support they need through patient navigation — working alongside their own doctors and clinics.

No referral needed. No insurance required.

You do not need to be a patient at Keck Medicine or USC Norris. RLC is a free outpatient service open to anyone in the Greater Los Angeles area. We will meet you where you are and connect you with the resources you need.
