UCSD-La Jolla, John M. & Sally B. Thornton Hospital
John M. and Sally B. Thornton Hospital, part of UC San Diego Health, is a leading academic medical center located in La Jolla, California. Opened in 1993, it is renowned for its advanced surgical services, specialized medical care, and cutting-edge research. Thornton Hospital focuses on complex procedures and specialties such as cardiology (home to the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center), orthopedics, cancer care (affiliated with Moores Cancer Center), and neurosciences.
