Board approves temporary arrangement to push back against financial pressures
UC San Diego Health will step in to temporarily run El Centro Regional Medical Center as a longer-term plan to build a countywide district hospital system unfolds.
El Centro Regional is one of two hospitals serving the region, with a second, Pioneers Memorial Hospital, located just 13 miles north in Brawley. Maysent said UCSD can provide the kind of expertise, in addition to additional financial support from a key lender, that can keep the situation solvent until longer-term solutions mature.
In San Diego County, North County’s Palomar and Tri-City districts operate hospitals in Escondido, Poway and Oceanside. The Grossmont Healthcare District contracts with Sharp HealthCare to run East County’s main medical center in La Mesa. “The idea is that Pioneers and Calexico would go away and we would have a new entity called the Imperial Valley Health District with, you know, a new leadership team,” Sorensen said.
