Six Decades of Service Through the 1950s, the north coastal region of San Diego County was rural and had few services of its own. However, by 1960 the region was beginning to grow rapidly and the fundamental need for community healthcare to maintain prosperity became apparent. Recognizing this, visionary leaders from the Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista Chambers of Commerce, along with elected officials and business leaders from the three cities, developed a plan for creating a medical center to serve the needs of a growing region. Soon, with the support of a wide array of local leaders and voters, a bond was approved to construct a hospital and the Tri-City Hospital District was formed. On July 16, 1961, Tri- City Hospital, as it was called then, opened its doors with 87 patient beds and care provided by 42 physicians.
