Emergency and Trauma
Emergency care you can count on
When you need immediate care, you can count on the emergency department at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. Our registration and assessment process has decreased ER wait times to an average of 30 minutes or less, taking much of the wait out of emergency care in San Diego. Scripps is one of the first health systems in California to implement this new emergency department assessment system.
