COVID-19 UPDATE: All appropriate infection prevention measures have been implemented to prevent exposure to our patients and medical staff. Please call your doctor's office or health care provider if you think you need to be evaluated. Visit our website for the most up-to-date information on testing, visitation restrictions and illness prevention. Our Emergency and Trauma Center is available 24 hours a day and is supported by a medical staff dedicated to clinical excellence and The Sharp Experience. We offer private patient-care rooms and a fast-track system to treat patients more quickly. The Trauma Center is part of San Diego County's Trauma System - a partnership that includes five other designated trauma centers and launched in August 1984. The system has set the bar for trauma systems across the country for its organization, efficiency and delivery of exceptional care for the injured.
