First Groundbreaking at Tri-City Medical Center in Almost 20 Years

The first major project in almost two decades at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside took place Oct. 14 as ground was broken on the new 57,466 square-foot medical office.

The first ceremonial shovels of dirt were tossed on the site of the new, state-of-the-art "green" building which will house physician offices and the Orthopaedic and Spine Institute.

Business, civic, and elected officials from the community were on hand as were Tri-City Hospital District Board members, the executive team and physicians. Tri-City Hospital District Board Chairperson RoseMarie Reno said this new building is significant because it will put a new, modern face on the medical center.

Dr. Neville Alleyne, Orthopaedic and Spine Institute board member and medical director of spine surgery said the new building will help attract top primary care and specialty physicians to Tri-City. The building is scheduled to open fall 2012.
