Palomar Health Board Votes to Close North County Hospital Just Before Fire Season

"Robroy Fawcett, an Escondido resident speaking for a coalition that wanted to save the hospital, said closing it before the end of fire season could prove catastrophic. 'We need to keep this hospital open through fire season,' said Fawcett. 'They have a history of other hospitals being shut down or unavailable. This hospital is the most fire safe hospital. We are in a historic drought.' "
