Today, Tri-City Medical Center proudly celebrates a major milestone in our commitment to delivering world-class healthcare close to home with the unveiling and ribbon cutting of our newly redesigned Emergency Department.

This transformational project would not have been possible without the generous support of the Tri-City Hospital Foundation (), the David C. Copley Foundation (), the the Conrad Prebys (), and donors like you who believe in advancing the health and well-being of North County.

We are thrilled to introduce this enhanced Emergency Department experience to our community. With the partnership and support of our incredible first responders, this investment will make a meaningful difference for patients and families for years to come.

From our family to yours, we wish you a happy and heartfelt Valentine’s Day!

At Tri-City Board Meeting last week, some very special guests stepped up to the podium: the Smack City 13U Pop Warner Football Team.

Head Coach Josh Galeai, along with Assistant Coaches Matthew Segi and Billy Walker, and several of the players, thanked the board for helping fund the team’s travel and their dream of a national championship.

For context: In the 2021/2022 season, Smack City qualified for the Pop Warner National Championships (the “Pop Warner Super Bowl”) but were unable to attend due to lack of funding.

This year, Smack City 13U put in the work practicing more than 10 hours a week on top of school and family responsibilities. They played 14 games during the 2025 season, finishing with an incredible 12–1 record and once again earning a spot at Nationals.

For this team, it was their final year in Pop Warner, their LAST chance at the National Title. Teams that qualify must quickly secure entry, by purchasing hotel blocks, within weeks.

Tri-City Leadership heard about the challenge and knew they had to step in. With TCMC’s support, they helped meet that need, sending the team to Charlotte, North Carolina from December 8–15.

The championship came down to three games against the best teams in the nation. The third and final matchup was especially intense, as their opponent, the Westchase Colts from Florida, was just as skilled.

In the end, Smack City 13U Pirates prevailed with a 6–0 victory, bringing home the National Championship! 🏆🏴‍☠️

This Black History Month, we celebrate a historic milestone: 100 years of honoring Black history.

Created by historian, author, journalist, and educator Dr. Carter G. Woodson, in 1926 as “Negro History Week” has grown into the global month-long celebration we know today.

In the words of Dr. Woodson: “Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.”

This Black History Month, we honor, remember, and carry forward the mission Dr. Woodson laid out for us all.

This week, we celebrate our very own Ryan Rabold!

Ryan, our Stroke Coordinator at Tri-City Medical Center, is currently in New Orleans representing our hospital at the 2026 American Heart Association International Stroke Conference.

In Ryan’s words: “I am humbled and absolutely honored to represent our organization as a guest speaker and to share details on the amazing patient-first care we deliver every day as an interdisciplinary team here at Tri-City Medical Center.”

We’re incredibly proud of Ryan and grateful to Viz.ai for inviting him to speak on the outstanding work of our clinicians—and how innovative AI technology helps streamline care when patients need it in their most critical moments.

World Cancer Day is more than a date we observe, it is a call to action.

A call to support research.
A call to encourage screening.
A call to stand beside those affected.
And a call to never lose hope.

World Cancer Day reminds us that hope is powerful and that together, through awareness and support, we can make a difference for everyone.

As we begin the New Year at Tri-City, we’re steadily ramping up toward the completion of our Emergency Department Remodel!

Recently, our Board of Trustees enjoyed a sneak peek during an incredible behind-the-scenes tour led by ED Manager Brian Clowe.

During the tour, Brian showcased exciting updates to both the physical and technological infrastructure of the Emergency Department, along with a unique and meaningful addition—artwork created by our Emergency Department staff that will be displayed throughout the space.

We look forward to sharing more details about this project soon, including how you’ll be able to see it firsthand when we celebrate its completion.
