Good News - Chest Pain Centers

The Tri-City Medical Center has now received accreditation from the Society of Chest Pain Centers, making it the only hospital in San Diego County to receive the distinction.

According to a statement that was released by Tri-City management, the hospital demonstrated that it met and even exceeded a set of criteria and passed on-site evaluations administered by society staff.

Those criteria included not only quick patient treatment and diagnoses, but also supporting community outreach programs and integrating the hospital's emergency department with the local emergency medical system.
