San Diego-based Sharp HealthCare received a $10 million gift that will be used toward the construction of a seven-story, 152-bed medical tower, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Nov. 28.
The $900 million tower is expected to open in 2030 and will replace the original Sharp Memorial Hospital building that has been in use since 1955.
The $10 million gift was donated by San Diego-area philanthropist Laurie McGrath, according to the report. The health system's foundation launched a $250 million capital campaign last year to help cover construction costs and has raised $141 million to date.
