Both Tri-City Medical center and Palomar Health are located in the state of California in the United States. Besides, they are both accredited healthcare institutions that aim to provide the best in terms of patient- and family-centered, intensive, and specialized healthcare. Both facilities are community-owned with Palomar Health being a healthcare district in itself and Tri-City Medical center being an integral part of the larger Tri-City healthcare district. Moreover, both healthcare institutions have invested in current and emerging medial technology in order to provide the best services to their patients and their families. This, however, does not interfere with the way in which they provide personalized care.

            In terms of differences, Tri-City is a smaller, more personalized healthcare institution than Palomar Health which is a vast, multi-facility establishment spanning across a large geographical location. Palomar Health owns and operates three other hospitals, namely Palomar Health Downtown Campus, Palomar Medical Center and Pomerado Hospital (Palomarhealth.org, 2017). Tri-City, on the other hand, only operates a wellness center close to its vicinity. Despite its size, Palomar Health is more inclined towards offering more generalized, acute medicine while Tri-City offers more clearly defined specializations in cardiovascular, orthopedic, dialysis, neonatal and magnetic resonance. In terms of the target patient populations, both healthcare institutions compete for patients in the California area particularly those with short-term and acute illnesses as well as those seeking generalized care and wellness. Tri-City, however, has gained more appeal among the population of patients especially those seeking more specialized and technology-inclusive care (Tricitymed.org, 2017). These two institutions compete for the same patient population due to the obvious geographical proximity, given that both are situated within the San Diego area.
