Sharp Mary Birch Hospital

A friend of mine sent me the link to the Sharp Mary Birch Hospital. I don't know yet if there is more than one location. The Mary Birch that I am familiar with is located in San Diego and it is a HUGE facility. So I have one more place to call and find out what programs they have available for young women. I'll post up the information as I receive it. So far this is what I have is listed below.
