Company History
From Farmland to Full-Service Hospital
In the 1950s, the north coastal region of San Diego County was rural and had few services of its own. Community leaders knew that a modern local hospital was essential to the area's growth. Business and political leaders from Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista came together to create a regional hospital.
Voters elected to form the Tri-City Hospital District and approved a bond issue to fund land purchases and construction costs. By 1961, the hospital opened its doors with 42 physicians on staff. Almost immediately, the need to expand was evident. North County's population was growing and Tri-City Hospital was ready to keep pace.
Today
A lot has changed since 1961 and so has Tri-City Medical Center. As we approach our 50th year of service to San Diego's North County we proudly continue to be a leader in medical excellence, emergency preparedness and community service.
