Sharp HealthCare to construct $239M medical tower in San Diego County

Sharp HealthCare will add a seven-story, $239 million medical tower to Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center in southern San Diego County, the company announced Monday.

Scripps Health has also indicated it plans redevelopment at its nearby Scripps Mercy Hospital but has not yet made the details public. Read The San Diego Union-Tribune story here
