Coronado Hospital was built in 1926 and began as a privately owned, 12-bed emergency hospital. It later grew and was established as a nonprofit, community-owned facility governed by a hospital board. Thanks to fundraising efforts and federal monies, a new, full-service, 64-bed, 4-story facility was built up in 1970. In 1994, Sharp HealthCare and Coronado Hospital became affiliated and the hospital was renamed as Sharp Coronado Hospital and Health Care Center.
As one of the first five hospitals nationally designated as a Planetree patient-centered hospital and the only one in San Diego County, Sharp Coronado Hospital and Health Care Center has created an innovative health care experience with an emphasis on patient-centered care. Sharp Coronado is dedicated to providing award-winning care in a peaceful setting that encourages patients and their families to live+heal+grow. Sharp Coronado promotes holistic healing by focusing on patient empowerment, patient and family education and complementary therapies. Sharp Coronado Hospital is a part of Sharp HealthCare.
