The emergency physician group staffing Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego's emergency department operates as Pacific Emergency Providers at 4077 Fifth Ave, the hospital's designated Level I Trauma Center in Hillcrest at the Washington/Fifth corner of 92103. ED physicians handle acute trauma, STEMI and cardiac events, acute ischemic stroke, pediatric emergencies, and overdose resuscitations — sitting one clinical tier above Concentra occupational medicine and urgent care for non-life-threatening workplace injuries and minor acute visits. Wheelchair-accessible entry, parking, and restrooms meet hospital ADA standards across the Fifth Avenue campus. Patients requiring prolonged post-acute ventilator weaning, complex wound care, or chronic critical illness management after ICU stabilization transition to Select Specialty Hospital - San Diego as a long-term acute care hospital step-down destination. The Scripps Mercy Level I Trauma Center receives penetrating trauma, motor vehicle collisions, falls from height, and blunt abdominal injuries from across central and downtown San Diego via paramedic field triage into its main ED. STEMI activations, acute ischemic stroke alerts, septic shock resuscitations, and polytrauma arrivals flow through integrated ER-to-cath-lab, ER-to-OR, and ER-to-ICU pathways staffed by Pacific Emergency Providers at San Diego's longest-established 1890-founded trauma receiving hospital.
