Palomar Health and Graybill Medical Group to negotiate integration agreement


The boards of directors at Palomar Health and Graybill Medical Group have agreed to execute a letter of intent to negotiate an affiliation agreement between the two entities that would integrate Graybill Medical Group into Palomar Health.

 Palomar Health has provided medical care to the residents of North San Diego County since 1950. “The level of care combined with the core values of both organizations is an outstanding fit for our communities in and around Northern San Diego,” said Floyd Farley, chief executive officer of Graybill Medical Group. “Our patients deserve nothing less than the cutting-edge healthcare offered by Palomar Health through its hospitals, care facilities and ambulatory care centers.”

Graybill Medical Group is the region’s largest independent multi-specialty medical group who has helped North County families achieve optimal health and wellness for more than 80 years. “Graybill physicians have worked with Palomar Health for a number of years, but a closer affiliation with both organizations will allow more opportunities for Graybill to grow and provide additional services to our patients close to home,” added Dr. Alejandro Paz, president of Graybill Medical Group.

 “Both Palomar Health and Graybill Medical Group have a long history of providing award-winning healthcare in our region,” said Diane Hansen, president and CEO of Palomar Health. “A strong affiliation with quality medical professionals is key to our success. Our shared commitment to the community and our pledge to provide and expand high-quality primary and specialty care is what makes this affiliation beneficial. I am looking forward to the possibility of working more closely with Graybill to continue this commitment for our patients.”

 Palomar Health is the most comprehensive healthcare system in North County with hospitals in Escondido and Poway providing medical services in almost all fields of medicine. As part of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, Palomar Health is the only health system in San Diego with access to Mayo Clinic knowledge and expertise. As a nationally ranked system, Palomar Health was recently named as one of “America’s 250 Best Hospitals” by Healthgrades, putting it in the top 5% of all US hospitals based on clinical quality outcomes.
