Sharp HealthCare and Tri-City Healthcare District

Advancing health care in San Diego

On June 2, 2026, voters in the Tri-City Healthcare District overwhelmingly approved Measure H, establishing a 30-year partnership between Tri-City Medical Center and Sharp HealthCare.

Pending certification of the election by the Registrar of Voters, Sharp will assume operations at the Oceanside hospital on July 1, 2026. The hospital will be renamed Sharp Tri-City Medical Center.

What’s coming next

This partnership will expand access to high-quality primary and specialty care, enhance the patient experience, and support long-term financial stability for both organizations.

At Tri-City, Sharp aims to strengthen medical services — restoring labor and delivery within the next several months and enhancing cancer care — while investing more than $100 million in infrastructure improvements and seismic upgrades.

What this means for your care

Tri-City patients can continue receiving care at the hospital before and after July 1. Patients will see their current providers, and care teams will remain in place during the transition.

Health insurance coverage for services at Tri-City will transition to Sharp on July 1, and preauthorized procedures will proceed as scheduled.

If you are a current Sharp patient, you may receive information from your medical group or doctor’s office about accessing care at Sharp Tri-City Medical Center.

In an emergency — when every minute counts — North County residents can continue to rely on timely care from a highly trained emergency team at the hospital.

What this means for employees and doctors at Tri-City

On July 1, Tri-City employees in good standing will transition to Sharp Tri‑City Medical Center and continue in their current roles with their current responsibilities. Doctors affiliated with Tri-City will become affiliated with Sharp HealthCare and will be able to admit patients to the newly renamed Sharp Tri-City Medical Center.
