Becker’s Hospital Review named Scripps Cancer Center one of the nation’s top 100 hospitals and health systems with great oncology programs for 2025 — a prestigious recognition that underscores Scripps’ leadership in delivering world-class cancer care across San Diego County.
The annual Becker’s list honors hospitals and health systems that demonstrate exceptional clinical outcomes, innovative treatment approaches, and comprehensive patient support services. Scripps Cancer Center earned its place alongside leading national institutions for its multidisciplinary expertise, advanced technologies, and commitment to compassionate, personalized care.
“This recognition reflects the dedication of our physicians, nurses, researchers, and staff who work tirelessly to provide the highest standard of cancer care,” said Dr. Thomas Buchholz, medical director of Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center. “From prevention and early detection to cutting-edge treatments and survivorship programs, we are deeply committed to improving outcomes and quality of life for every patient.”
Scripps Cancer Center is part of the Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center partnership, which brings together Scripps Health’s regional expertise with the world-renowned cancer care of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. This collaboration ensures that patients in San Diego have access to the same leading-edge therapies, clinical trials, and evidence-based protocols available at one of the top cancer centers in the world.
Becker’s editors highlighted organizations that not only advance cancer treatment through innovation and research but also demonstrate a holistic approach to care — addressing the physical, emotional, and social needs of patients and their families.
Scripps continues to expand its cancer services throughout the region, combining state-of-the-art facilities, multidisciplinary care teams, and a legacy of excellence that has made it a trusted destination for patients seeking comprehensive oncology care.
