Bringing compassion and care to the children of Uganda
Sharp’s Jorge Chacon Cordero shares his experience and insight from a humanitarian trip to Uganda’s first children’s hospital.
Due to scheduled maintenance, online scheduling will be unavailable until 5 am on Sunday.
In January 2020,
Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center greeted nearly 4,000 South Bay leaders and community members to celebrate the grand opening of its Ocean View Tower, marking a new era in health care for the South Bay.
The new hospital tower added 106 spacious, private rooms designed with family and friends in mind; entire floors dedicated to specialized cardiac, stroke and cancer care; state-of-the-art surgical suites, including the region's only hybrid procedure room for advanced cardiovascular procedures; and a rooftop café with panoramic views of San Diego.
The timing of the tower's opening was fortuitous, as the first patient with
COVID-19 was admitted two months later, and the South Bay quickly became the hardest-hit community in San Diego County.
In this video, Sharp reflects on the generosity that helped make the tower a reality, and the philanthropic donations that continue to lift the spirits of front-line workers.
