San Diego is one of the leading cities for biomedical research, integrative medicine, and senior health services—but we’re not resting on any laurels. Just look at the numerous advances in the local medical landscape for proof. Biotech companies Illumina and Edico just helped Rady Children’s Hospital break a Guinness World Record for fastest genome sequencing. Our community is on the front lines of integrative practices. We’re developing unique cross-border programs with our neighbors in Mexico. And we’re crusaders for the wellness of our growing Baby Boomer population. Has there ever been a better time to live, breathe, and be healthy in SD?
