Scripps Memorial Hospitals in La Jolla

Foresighted philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps opened the doors of a forty-four-bed hospital on Prospect Street in 1924 with the dream of going beyond the activities traditionally expected of a community hospital. Today, from its central forty-acre facility on the Torrey Pines mesa, Scripps Memorial Hospitals encompasses a comprehensive healthcare system that reaches throughout San Diego County.

With state-of-the-art techniques and quality research, Scripps provides the community with a continuum of care including preventive medicine and wellness programs, specialized diagnostic and treatment centers, rehabilitation programs, home healthcare and convalescent facilities.
