San Diego Health Connect began as a federally funded Beacon Community project. Since government funding expired at the end of September, the organization has transitioned into a community-supported entity.
The addition of Scripps and Sharp increases the number of patients covered by the HIE from 800,000 to 1.2 million.

Chavez, executive director of San Diego Health Connect, said in a news release.
