The Campaign for Scripps Encinitas

Imagine. Inspire. Heal. Invest.

As a result of philanthropic support from our community, the largest expansion in the history of Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas is well under way.

The hospital serves residents in the coastal north county area, from Oceanside in the north, to Rancho Santa Fe in the east, to Del Mar in the south. As these communities continue to grow, so has the need for quality health care – close to home.

The Campaign for Scripps Encinitas is a five-year, multi-phase fundraising effort to significantly enhance the hospital’s emergency and acute care facilities to serve the ever-growing coastal North County community.

Phase I: $38 million goal met

Thanks to the generosity of people like you—our donors, community leaders, physicians and staff—we have met our phase I goal of $38 million. We could not have accomplished this feat without your support.

Funds raised during phase I are helping us build a two-story 62,000 square-foot critical care building that includes a 27-bed emergency department on the ground floor and a 36-bed medical/surgical unit on the second floor.

Opening in 2014, the critical care building will also include state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical equipment, expanded ambulance bays, a heliport and specially designed patient rooms.

On behalf of the communities we serve, we offer our sincerest appreciation to all donors and volunteers who have invested with us and who have become a part of this important chapter of our history.

Phase II: Next steps

Continued philanthropic support is vital to support our expansion and meet the growing health care needs of our community. With the successful completion of phase I of the campaign, we now turn our attention to phase II of this historic fundraising effort.

With your help, phase II will provide:

• $10 million to complete construction and build-out the second-floor medical/surgical unit
• $5 million to build a 12-bed observation unit on the first floor of the new critical care building
• $5 million to expand surgical services by adding two new operating rooms featuring state-of-the-art technology

Join us as we invest in the future

As Scripps Encinitas approaches its 50th anniversary in 2014, we look forward to continuing this important expansion. In appreciation of significant gifts to the Campaign for Scripps Encinitas, we offer well-placed opportunities to provide permanent, public recognition of your generosity and commitment to the health of our community.
