The flu vaccine prevents tens of thousands of hospitalizations each year, which is why we offer them complimentary to our local community with flu shot clinics during October and November at our hospital.

Transportation Vouchers
Partners: Tri-City partners with these organizations to offer free rides for community members that don’t have access to transportation. We also partner with FACT (Facilitating Access to Coordinated Transportation), an agency that helps thousands of mobility-challenged San Diego County residents each year. The goal of the “Rides to Wellness program” is to make it easier for our patients to get to and from the hospital. Tri-City Medical Center was proud to receive the FACT’s “Norine Sigafoose Partner of the Year Award” in 2017 for our efforts to provide access to healthcare to our community. If you’d like more information on our transportation vouchers please contact externalaffairs@tcmc.comTelemedicine
Partners: Telemedicine is the distribution of health-related services such as examinations or appointments through telecommunication technologies instead of in-person. These appointments utilize video on secure platforms.
