DISC Surgery Center at Carlsbad Partners with Tri-City Medical Center

DISC Surgery Center at Carlsbad ("DISC") has announced a strategic partnership with Tri-City Medical Center  ("Tri-City") to deliver best-in-class spine and complex musculoskeletal care to the North County region. The collaboration coincides with the opening of DISC's state-of-the-art, custom-built outpatient facility and focuses on three key pillars:

• Equity Partnership – Tri-City has become a strategic equity partner in the surgery center, located within the Tri-City Medical Center Health & Wellness Complex.
• Integrated Program Development – DISC and Tri-City are co-developing a comprehensive spine and musculoskeletal program that combines each organization's strengths to optimize technology, care delivery, and site of service—ensuring patients receive the best care in the right setting.
• Seamless Ancillary Services – The two organizations are working together to streamline the entire patient journey, integrating services such as diagnostics, imaging, cardiac clearances, pre- and post-operative care, and rehabilitation.

"This partnership is helping us redefine how we deliver spine and musculoskeletal care," said Dr. Gene Ma, President & CEO of Tri-City Medical Center. "What DISC has accomplished in the outpatient setting is extraordinary. By aligning our capabilities and resources, we're empowering patients with a more advanced, patient-centric healthcare experience from diagnosis to recovery."
