According to a North County Times article, a number of hospitals are suing San Diego County over medical costs of inmates. The article names Sharp HealthCare, as well as Scripps and other facilities, as taking part in the suit.
As a San Diego Business Journal article reports, the monthly magazine “American Hospital Association”—[a] Chicago-based industry trade group representing 5,000 members
—has named Sharp HealthCare one of the 100 “most wired” health care systems in the USA. The article states, Sharp HealthCare has made the issue for the past nine years.
Now and then a “philanthropy notes” e-mail arrives, and I give it a quick look over, then move on. This time around, I’ll spend a little more time going over it.
It’s already been said that Sharp has met the Kresge Challenge. This is just one source of income for the non-profit Sharp organization. Many donations keep Sharp HealthCare running and allow Sharp to improve every year. The following donations were including in an e-mail, excluding those already listed on the Kresge Challenge post.
In the August 3rd issue of the San Diego Union Tribune newspaper, readers named Sharp HealthCare as San Diego’s “best health care provider” as well as “best hospital”. Sharp Healthcare’s almost 19,000 nurses, staff, affiliated physicians, and volunteers help every day to earn Sharp HealthCare this recognition. Sharp HealthCare is working to become the best place to receive health care, as well as the best place to work and the best place to practice medicine, as part of The Sharp Experience. This recognition means we’re on the right track, and Sharp’s employees will only improve.
Thanks to the contributions of thousands, the Sharp HealthCare Foundation has now met the requirements of The Kresge Foundation Challenge Grant. The Kresge Foundation is one of the largest grant making organizations in the nation, as well as one of the most important. Its purpose is to strengthen non-profit organizations.
