San Diego-based Scripps Health will build a “comprehensive” ambulatory facility in San Marcos, Calif., as the first phase of a long-awaited expansion project.
The health system acquired the 80-acre land parcel for the new ambulatory and acute care hospital 35 years ago but was waiting for “the right time” to build, according to a March 17 press release.
Scripps has been working on a master development plan for the site for the last four years, and it was approved by the board of trustees in early March.
The site will offer primary care physician offices, ambulatory surgery, cancer care, complex imaging, laboratory and other services.
