Tri-City Hospital Foundation's black-tie affair, chaired by Dr. Nina Chaya and sponsored by North County Orthopedics, will include a lovely champagne reception, live and silent auctions, elegant plated dinner, and a concert under the stars with a performance by London-born, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Seal. This year’s indoor/outdoor gala experience will benefit the transformation of Tri-City Medical Center’s emergency department (ED), an indispensable resource of critical care for the North County coastal communities. Once funded, this project will completely renovate the medical center’s emergency department’s entrance, patient and family waiting area, lighting, triage area, and a major treatment area in the ED. More importantly, this redesign will improve upon Tri-City Medical Center’s already excellent outcomes by streamlining the triage process to decrease wait times and improve the patient experience.
