As Sharp looks to the future and continues delivering on its promise to provide high-quality, compassionate care throughout the county, the Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Neuroscience is an important next step in our journey to transform the health care experience for generations to come.
In addition to its team of specialized neurologists and neurosurgeons, the neuroscience hospital will offer specialists that work together to treat the whole patient, through services such as physical rehabilitation, speech and swallow therapies, intensive care, and more.
The Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Neuroscience is part of Sharp Grossmont Hospital, and will be located in the former space of our Rehabilitation Center. The entrance to the new facility will be adjacent to the main hospital entrance.
Representing the future of neurological care, the neuroscience hospital is a free-standing center located in the heart of the Sharp Grossmont campus. This new facility is dedicated to neurosurgical, neurological and comprehensive spine care that will allow patients to be treated from start to finish in one place.
As more people in our community advance in age, there will be a greater need for specialized neurological care. The hospital will not only help meet that demand, but will also serve as an extension of our growing medical services and expertise. In conjunction with our nationally recognized Comprehensive Stroke Center designation from the American Heart & Stroke Association, the Burr Heart and Vascular Center, and our new movement disorders program to treat conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, we’re advancing brain and spine health care for our region.
Sharp Grossmont is partnering with celebrated firms in the design and building industry to bring the project to life. The facility was designed by Mascari Dinh Architects, an architecture firm that specializes in award-winning health care planning and design. The design build team is led by Layton Construction, a nationally ranked commercial construction company.
The Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Neuroscience will open in early 2025.
It will include the Linda and Frank Riolo Rehabilitation Gym, an inpatient rehabilitation unit, and a progressive care unit. There will also be an intensive care unit, lobby, hardscaping, and landscaping. A second-floor outpatient clinic for movement disorders, neuro-ophthalmology and more will also be a part of the new facility.
Built at a cost of $58 million, a significant amount of funding will come from generous Grossmont Hospital Foundation donors, the Grossmont HealthCare District as well as other funding sources.
Our vision is to create a single center of excellence where patients will be treated by dedicated neurosurgical, neurological and comprehensive spine experts. With your donation, your support of Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Neuroscience will help us transform the future of neurological care for patients, their loved ones and the community.
