Palomar Pomerado Health (PPH) is a public health district in San Diego County, California. It operates two hospitals: Palomar Medical Center in Escondido and Pomerado Hospital in Poway. A new hospital is under construction in northwest Escondido.[1][2] The district was formed in 1984, replacing the Escondido Valley Hospital Association which itself was formed in 1945.[3] Covering 800 square miles (2,100 km2), PPH is the largest public health district by area in the state of California.[4][5]
