Dr Gabriel Chiu And Christine Chiu

Dr. Gabriel Chiu and Christine Chiu are Los Angeles philanthropists whose charitable work is closely tied to medicine, education, and the arts. Dr. Gabriel Chiu is a Beverly Hills plastic and reconstructive surgeon and founder of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery, Inc., and Christine Chiu is a producer and philanthropist. Their giving has included support for health-care training and institutional advancement in Southern California, with a notable anchor at Pepperdine University’s School of Nursing.

In 2022, the couple made a $1 million gift to Pepperdine to establish the Dr. Gabriel and Christine Chiu Endowed Scholarship. The endowment supports nursing students with financial need and was created to help expand access to nursing education at a time of sustained demand for trained nurses. Pepperdine identified the scholarship as part of a broader effort to strengthen its nursing program and prepare graduates for service in health care. That gift places the Chius’ philanthropy squarely in higher education and workforce development, aimed at students entering a critical clinical profession.
