Innovation and Quality Patient Care

Sharp Grossmont Hospital's emergency department is one of the most technologically advanced of its kind. It is the busiest community emergency department in San Diego County seeing more than 108,000 patients a year treating a diverse population. It has also been designated by the county as a STEMI center, due to implementation of new cardiac protocols meeting county and national guidelines for treating acute MI patients. Additionally, they have achieved stroke center status due to our focus on providing expeditious diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients. There is a helipad that receives patients with medical emergencies, such as snake bites, heat stroke, and heart attacks, from our rural areas. Currently, the facility runs 43 acute care beds 24 hours a day, plus 21 minor care and observation beds that are open during high volume hours. Sharp Grossmont has invested heavily in innovative, cutting-edge medical care. This includes one of the most technologically advanced emergency rooms in the nation.
