San Diego is the 8th largest city in the US, with nearly 1.5 million residents populating the city, and providing high quality healthcare for all those people is a real challenge. Fortunately, San Diego is home to several corporate leaders in the medical technology field, so the area benefits from having cutting-edge knowledge and equipment available for treating and caring for patients. Some of the best known healthcare community centers in the region are listed below.

If you need assistance getting to these facilities, a professional in home caregiver from a licensed San Diego County Home Care Organization can help.
