History

Established in 2015.

The 383,000-square-foot tower of glass, brick and steel rising seven stories above Genesee Avenue is named for Conrad Prebys, a real estate developer, philanthropist and generous Scripps donor whose $ 45 million gift helped create an institution that will save lives and foster medical breakthroughs for decades to come.

The Prebys Cardiovascular Institute combines highly respected cardiovascular programs from throughout the Scripps system and Kaiser Permanente. Each year, more than 76,000 patients receive their cardiovascular care from Scripps, making it San Diego County’s — and California’s — largest heart care provider.
