Since then, through the support of their donors, Scripps Health Foundation has helped them become a premier healthcare system in the region. Its multifaceted approach to expanding community benefits throughout the region ensures the people of San Diego have access to essential healthcare services that improve their individual quality of life and the community as a whole.
The Opportunity
