UC San Diego Health has been caring for the community for more than 50 year. In 1966, we established our first medical center. Two years later in 1968, UC San Diego School of Medicine opened for business. Today, UC San Diego Health is the only academic health system in the San Diego region and is widely recognized as one of the premier health care systems in the United States. Its clinical facilities include: • UC San Diego Medical Center – Hillcrest • Jacobs Medical Center – La Jolla • Moores Cancer Center (one of only 45 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country and the only one in San Diego) • Shiley Eye Center • Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center (San Diego’s first comprehensive cardiovascular center) • Numerous primary and specialty practices of UC San Diego Medical Group located throughout Southern California.
