SUMMARY:Roundtable Lecture Series\, Grossmont Hospital: A Legacy of Community Service
DESCRIPTION:The story of Grossmont Hospital and the Healthcare District is one of true community commitment to a greater cause.  In early 1952\, eastern San Diego County’s citizens voted overwhelmingly to establish the Grossmont Hospital District.  Local civic leaders and physicians envisioned it as the vehicle for building a modern hospital to address the healthcare needs of their rapidly growing post-World War II communities.  In August 1955 the district subsequently opened Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa.  For the next sixty-five years\, the institution grew to serve suburban and rural residents spread over the 750-square mile district.  In dealing with the daunting challenges of modern healthcare\, the governing board entered a precedent-setting lease for hospital operations with San Diego-based non-profit Sharp Healthcare in 1991.  Historian James D. Newland has partnered with Grossmont Hospital and the Grossmont Healthcare District in chronicling the inspiring story of this iconic regional institution. \nCome learn about La Mesa and East County’s landmark public institution\, the Grossmont Hospital.  Historian/author James Newland will present on the history of this significant publicly-owned healthcare district and the doctors\, nurses\, administrators\, civic-leaders volunteers\, donors\, patients and families that have made this an indispensible community service asset.  \n  \nThis event is FREE for LMHC Members and a $5 donation is requested from non-members. Please RSVP here.
