The Power of Your Gift
You can help us transform patient care, enable key discoveries, strengthen medical education and perform lifesaving surgeries.
Give Back to Our Community
Caring for our community is the legacy of our founders. Ellen Browning Scripps once said, “The most important gift one human being can give to another is, in some way, to make life a little better to live.” We embrace that legacy with the help of our donors by delivering the best in health care to the San Diego community and those in need around the world.
With the support of our generous donors, the Mercy Outreach Surgical Team can perform transformative surgeries for those with limited access to health care in Mexico.
Support Patients and Their Families
Your gift helps Scripps provide excellent medical care, as well as education, advocacy and emotional support, to create a positive and compassionate patient experience. These resources make it easier for patients and their families to navigate their care and offer hope in the face of difficult health challenges.
