Just down the road from the Del Mar Inn is Scripps - a not-for-profit, community-based health care delivery network in San Diego, California, that includes five acute-care hospitals, more than 2,600 affiliated physicians, an extensive ambulatory care network, home health care and associated support services. As a result of the July 2000 re-affiliation with Scripps Clinic, Scripps now has approximately 10,000 employees and also cares for patients at 12 Scripps Clinic locations throughout San Diego County.

Affiliated with the health care delivery network are The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and the Scripps Foundation for Medicine and Science (SFMS). TSRI is one of the country's largest private not-for-profit research organizations, recognized internationally for its basic biomedical research. SFMS raises funds to support both TSRI and Scripps Health. Scripps is proud to be a world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and management of disease and is at the forefront of medical innovation, clinical research and technology.

Scripps has a long history in San Diego, dating back to 1924 when Ellen Browning Scripps founded Scripps Memorial Hospital and Scripps Metabolic Clinic in La Jolla. Scripps Mercy Hospital, San Diego's oldest hospital, was founded in 1890 and joined the Scripps system in 1995.

Today, in addition to Scripps Mercy Hospital and Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla (formerly Scripps Memorial Hospital), the Scripps acute-care hospital system includes Scripps Green Hospital, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas and Scripps Memorial Hospital Chula Vista.

Scripps is one of the Del Mar Inn's corporate neighbors, receiving uncompromising rates and service.
