Full-service emergency department at 9432 Medical Center Dr, La Jolla, CA 92037, on the UC San Diego Health campus — open 24 hours, 365 days a year. Part of the 364-bed Jacobs Medical Center, which opened in 2016 with 10 operating rooms, the only intraoperative MRI suite of its kind in the region, specialized cancer and cardiovascular surgery, neonatal intensive care, and a blood and marrow transplantation floor. The La Jolla ER operates alongside the UC San Diego Health Urgent Care clinic at Villa La Jolla Dr, which handles non-life-threatening same-day conditions and is the appropriate first stop for sprains, infections, and minor injuries — preserving ER capacity for true emergencies. Full-time attending emergency physicians available around the clock, with nursing staff including geriatric specialists. Connected by walkway to Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center and within the same campus as Moores Cancer Center and Shiley Eye Institute. For 24-hour urgent care that doesn't require a full ER visit, Scripps Clinic Urgent Care Torrey Pines on N Torrey Pines Rd is the closest alternative.
