Emergency Department

If you are having an emergency, please call 911.

The care you need, when you need it most.

Tri-City Medical Center has more than just an Emergency Room. It has the most technologically advanced Emergency Department in San Diego County.

State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment assures you of excellent care 24 hours a day. Our nationally recognized electronic medical record system means your medical history is available at the touch of a button for instantaneous communication.

Featuring both a Paramedic Base Station and a Heart Attack/Stroke Receiving Center, our Emergency Department treats thousands of patients needing urgent care.  We recognize, however, that your time is as important as your health care, so our innovative website gives you actual emergency room wait times.
