Healthy Living Center

At the end of September*, Sharp Coronado Hospital will kick off a renovation project that will transform The Motion Center into a soothing, spa-like environment renamed the Healthy Living Center.

When it opens in the spring of 2013, this center will feature a beautifully redesigned layout, a streamlined check-in process, state-of-the-art fitness equipment, a new space for exercise classes and enhanced health and wellness programs — with the same level of attention and support that our members have come to expect from our team. It's all part of the extraordinary level of care we call The Sharp Coronado Experience.

*Actual relocation date will be contingent upon the California Department of Public Health's plan approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

The revitalization of the center and reinvention of the spaces will allow us to provide enhanced programs and services to our patients and the greater community.
