Why Choose a Sharp-Affiliated Doctor?

At Sharp, we’re working to transform the health care experience for our patients and their families. What this means is that for us, you come first. Nearly 15,000 employees and 2,600 affiliated doctors are here for San Diego.

Quality Excellence
One thing that sets Sharp apart is that we were recognized in 2007 with a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award — it’s the highest Presidential honor for organizational performance excellence and quality in the United States. Sharp is the only health care provider in California to receive the award.

The Sharp Experience
But it’s not just about awards. It’s about making a difference every day. We call our way of providing care The Sharp Experience — you might have heard about it by watching one of our documentaries on TV. The Sharp Experience inspires us to be the best place to work, the best place to practice medicine and the best place to receive care.

Our Not-For-Profit Commitment
Sharp HealthCare is a health care organization designed not for profit but for people. Our not-for-profit approach means that after our bills and employees have been paid, any remaining money is reinvested back into providing health care — unlike for-profit organizations that must pay back investors.
