Sharp HealthCare is a not-for-profit integrated regional health care delivery system based in San Diego, California. Sharp includes four acute care hospitals, three specialty hospitals and two medical groups, plus a full spectrum of other facilities and services.

At Sharp HealthCare, we are on an exciting journey to improve our organization's culture. We call this culture "The Sharp Experience" because it encompasses all we do at Sharp HealthCare. You will find The Sharp Experience in action at Sharp's hospitals, medical centers, outpatient and urgent care centers, home health, hospice and skilled nursing facilities in San Diego.

Sharp is transforming health care in San Diego by being:

The best place to work — attracting highly skilled and passionate staff members who are focused on providing quality health care and building a culture of teamwork, recognition, celebration and professional and personal growth.

The best place to practice medicine — creating an environment in which physicians enjoy positive, collaborative relationships with nurses and other caregivers.

The best place to receive care — providing a new standard of service in the health care industry by employing service-oriented individuals who see it as their privilege to exceed the expectations of every patient by treating them with the utmost care, compassion and respect.

Sharp was named a recipient of the 2007 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and was the first health care system to be named a gold-level award recipient by the California Council for Excellence (CCE) for the California Awards for Performance Excellence (CAPE) program, the state-level affiliate of the Baldrige Award, in 2006.

Sharp's passion for caring is shared by our 2,600 physicians on our hospital medical staffs, 1,500 physicians in our affiliated medical groups and over 14,000 employees. Together this team is working to make Sharp San Diego's best place to work, the best place to practice medicine and the best place to receive care.
