One Place Is Ready.
UC San Diego Health System is widely recognized as one of the premier health care systems in the United States. We’re the only academic health system in San Diego. It’s the one place that can offer you and your family medical treatments not available elsewhere in the region. And we don’t just treat disease – we treat you.
UC San Diego Health System was ranked among the nation’s best hospitals in the 2011-2012 issue of U.S. News & World Report, and number 1 in San Diego in the magazine’s first-ever metro rankings in 2011. We were honored as one of the top 15 teaching hospitals in the country by Thomson Reuters in 2010.
Our physicians – who number more than 850 – are acknowledged as leaders in their fields of medicine and surgery. In 2011, nearly 130 of our doctors were named by members of the San Diego County Medical Society as the best physicians in the region.
UC San Diego Health System is part of University of California, San Diego Health Sciences. In just over four decades, we have gained international recognition as the one place where discoveries are delivered – bringing breakthroughs from the research laboratory bench to our patients’ bedsides.
