The Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute (SSIHI) is one of the five main components of the Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences. In 2017, UCI received a $200 million naming gift - the largest donation in its history - from Susan and Henry Samueli, longtime campus supporters. This transformative gift created the Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences (COHS), the first University-based health sciences enterprise in the nation to focus on interdisciplinary integrative health. The far-reaching donation is the seventh-largest to a single public university and positions UCI as an innovative leader in health sciences.
