In 1952 representatives of the Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista Chambers of Commerce identified a need for a modern local hospital to serve a growing community. They joined together in 1955 to form the Tri-City Hospital Association to oversee and coordinate the formation of Tri-City Healthcare District, the governing arm of Tri-City Medical Center.

We are recognized nationally for our excellent medical and professional staff, state-of-the-art medical care and highly rated patient services. We are a designated Joint Commission Stroke Center and a San Diego County designated Cardiac Treatment Center. We offer a wide array of quality programs ranging from maternity and advanced neonatal services, orthopedics, neurology, advanced interventional radiology, including a new 64 Channel Multi-Slice CT Scanner and new digital mammography technology and a multitude of specialty services. We have 569 physicians representing 60 specialties and sub-specialties. We are Gold Seal approved by the Joint Commission, meeting the national standards for healthcare quality.

We offer 24/7 expertise from physicians using the latest emergency medical technology. As the second busiest emergency room in San Diego County, we treat more than 70,000 residents annually. We remain at the forefront in planning for regional disaster response and in the event of a disaster are prepared to serve as a community medical receiving center for ill and injured patients.

We are focused on supporting the communities we serve with healthcare education, responding to requests for special programs, and actively leading and volunteering for countless community causes promoting an improved quality of life in North SD.
