Referral-required complex-chronic-condition clinic on the Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego campus, Scripps Advanced Care Clinic occupies Suite 725 at 550 Washington Street in Hillcrest 92103 with interdisciplinary care for adults managing multiple simultaneous chronic illnesses. Extended-length visits, same-day sick-day slots, and telemedicine replace the standard fifteen-minute primary-care rhythm, letting the care team address housing instability, food insecurity, and transportation barriers alongside medication reconciliation — the whole-person scope that distinguishes this program from the rehabilitation-focused skilled nursing offered at Balboa Nursing and Rehabilitation Center around the corner. The clinic also houses the Scripps COVID Recovery Program, a multidisciplinary post-acute service for patients with long-COVID sequelae coordinating primary care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral health, and specialty consultations. A transgender-safespace designation and LGBTQ+-affirming care model align clinical services with Hillcrest's demographics, coordinating patient resources with community supports at The San Diego LGBT Community Center on Centre Street. Referral gatekeeping by a primary-care provider remains mandatory, meaning self-referral isn't available and patient flow comes through Scripps Clinic internists or outside referring physicians. The most involved cases combine geriatric polypharmacy of ten or more medications per day, unstable housing, food insecurity, and three-or-more chronic conditions in a single patient requiring weekly care-navigator touchpoints and monthly physician visits.
