The Sharp Experience
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.
Transforming the health care experience
The Sharp Experience is not one thing we do, it's everything we do.
It's our care philosophy — treating people, not patients, and transforming the health care experience for our entire community.
It's not a diagnosis delivery or a treatment plan. Instead, it's the nurse who shares her story, the doctor checking in on his day off or the volunteer who delivers your favorite paper.
Our journey started in 2001, when the people of Sharp HealthCare came together with a desire to make Sharp the best place to work, practice medicine and receive care.
Today, we are an organization filled with passionate, determined and caring people — from our clinicians to our housekeepers, from our engineers to our call center operators. And together we are dedicated to creating an advanced, personal experience for you, your family and the people of San Diego.
Sharp is transforming the health care experience in San Diego, striving to be:
The best place to work — attracting highly skilled and passionate staff members who are focused on providing quality health care and building a culture of teamwork, recognition, celebration and professional and personal growth.
The best place to practice medicine — creating an environment in which physicians enjoy positive, collaborative relationships with nurses and other caregivers.
The best place to receive care — providing a new standard of service in the health care industry by employing service-oriented individuals who see it as their privilege to exceed the expectations of every patient by treating them with the utmost care, compassion and respect.
To support the success of Sharp’s transformation to becoming the best place to work, practice medicine and receive care, the following tools were created for all Sharp HealthCare team members.
