Campaign milestones

As Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital continues its efforts to address the mental health crisis in our community, philanthropist Darlene Marcos Shiley, president of the Shiley Foundation, has generously gifted $1 million in support of this effort. This transformational gift will support the modernization of Sharp Mesa Vista’s intensive care unit (ICU).

Another ENVISION milestone was achieved with the groundbreaking for the Sharp Grossmont Hospital Neurosciences Center. The Sharp Grossmont Hospital Neurosciences Center will be San Diego’s first single center of excellence for patients needing advanced neurosurgical, neurological and comprehensive-spine care.

Thanks to the generous leadership matching grant of $4 million from the Grossmont Healthcare District and more than 50 other generous donations, the campaign for the SGH Neurosciences Center has already raised $7 million of the $10 million goal.

July 13, 2022 was another milestone date for Sharp and the official naming of the Kevin H. Cook Parking Structure, under construction at the Sharp Metro campus. A special thank you to Kevin for his generous ENVISION donation of $3.5 million - $2.5 million dedicated to the Sharp Metro Modernization project and $1 million for Sharp Rees-Stealy.  Kevin's gift will help transform the Sharp Metro campus for the next generation of care and impact the lives of countless individuals.

June 17, 2022, marked the first milestone in the Campaign for Emergency and Intensive Care at Sharp Coronado Hospital. Leadership donors gathered outdoors for a ribbon cutting to celebrate gaining occupancy for the Sherrie and Ron Auen Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Less than a week later, the first patient was moved into the ICU. The comprehensive build-out of the state-of-the-art ICU on the hospital’s fourth floor, with its inherent privacy and picturesque views of the Coronado bridge and neighboring community, serves as the unit’s new home.
