Thanks to a generous $25 million lead gift from Debbie and Warner Lusardi, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas is beginning phase two of its master plan. The centerpiece is the Lusardi Tower, a new, 185,000-square-foot hospital building with 64 private inpatient rooms, surgical suites and a state-of-the-art intensive care unit. It will be equipped with the latest wireless technologies, flexible surgical suites, and advanced digital monitoring and telemedicine capabilities.
36 Private Medical/Surgical Beds
In keeping with our focus on delivering the right care in the right setting, the plan takes into consideration changing patient-centered health care trends, such as private patient rooms with designated family areas; nurse proximity to patients; the evolution of wireless technology and advanced equipment; and efficient use of natural resources.
Philanthropic giving will allow our board-certified critical care physicians and intensive care specialists to expand their ability to care for critical patients, whether due to serious illness, severe injury, or major surgery.
The new operating rooms — and especially the hybrid room meant for larger teams and more complex procedures — will allow us to heal, enhance, and save more lives. Each new room will be outfitted with cutting edge technology allowing for the most sophisticated and minimally invasive methods of care.
The generosity of our donors will expand the number of new parents we can care for at our hospital, and enhance the postpartum experience for new families.
Your support will help us build the campus of the future with our patients at the center of all we do.
