Is Sharp purchasing Tri-City Medical Center?

NO. Pending voter approval of Measure H, Sharp will operate Tri-City Medical Center through a 30-year lease. This arrangement is similar to Sharp’s long-term partnership with the Grossmont Healthcare District to operate Sharp Grossmont Hospital. Since that affiliation began in 1991, Sharp Grossmont has grown to become one of the largest providers of comprehensive health care services in San Diego County. The latest example of this is the Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Neuroscience, which opened in 2025 as the first center of its kind in the county for advanced neurosurgical, neurological and orthopedic-spine care.

If voters approve Measure H, in addition to assuming the operating responsibility of Tri-City Medical Center, Sharp would also assume the District’s liabilities and debt, along with financial commitments toward service line development, growth, infrastructure, deferred maintenance and capital projects.
