A Beacon of Care in South San Diego
Scripps is at the forefront of providing quality health care to San Diego’s south county communities. The hospital is noted for comprehensive diabetes care, vital to patients and families who struggle to understand and manage this chronic condition. The Woltman Family Diabetes Care and Prevention Center is the centerpiece of this program.
We also provide 24-hour emergency care, orthopedic and thoracic/vascular surgery capabilities, state-of-the-art imaging, and an array of outpatient services. And we are committed to serving those who have served the U.S. through the Veterans Mental Health Project.
Through your support, you can help us deliver the quality care our communities need — from giving a premature baby a start in life to providing a wounded veteran a second chance.
Leading the Way in Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery
The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System has transformed minimally invasive surgery, elevating the standard of care for a variety of procedures. Originally developed for prostatectomies, it is now used in cardiac, gynecological and bariatric surgeries, among others, enabling faster recovery, reduced blood loss and smaller incisions for better patient outcomes. The da Vinci system is an innovative tool with more than 10 million procedures performed worldwide and supported by 38,000 peer-reviewed studies. Its advanced design — including robotic arms, a surgeon console and high-resolution imaging — gives surgeons exceptional control and precision, enabling them to handle even the most complex surgeries.
At Scripps Mercy Hospital, the minimally invasive surgery program stands out for its innovative approach with state-of-the-art equipment, such as the latest da Vinci Surgical system. By supporting the minimally invasive surgery program, donors can help enhance patient outcomes and drive medical innovation. Together, we can continue to bring the most advanced surgical solutions to our patients as a leader in transformative health care.
