Dr. Grisolia’s priorities

As chief of staff, Dr. Grisolia plans to continue encouraging and developing the excellence in patient care that Scripps Mercy has long provided to the community. His priorities include applying the many lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic to patients’ overall medical care going forward. This includes a special focus on creating greater awareness among Scripps Mercy’s medical staff about underlying social conditions that can affect aspects of daily living, such as nutrition, medication compliance and alcohol and drug use, which in turn can affect personal health.
