UC San Diego Health La Jolla station is a San Diego Trolley station located on the UC San Diego East Campus, which includes the UC San Diego Health La Jolla campus of hospitals and medical facilities and the Preuss School. The station is elevated just south of Voigt Drive at Campus Point Drive.

A bridge directly connects the platform level with the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. The station is also within walking distance of the Jacobs Medical Center hospital, the Moores Cancer Center.[6]

It opened on November 21, 2021, as a new station on the Blue Line, constructed as part of the Mid-Coast Trolley extension project.[5][7]
