History

Established in 1971.

North County Health Services (NCHS) began in 1971 to serve primarily the rural areas of Ramona, Pauma Valley and San Marcos in North San Diego County, California, a region commonly known as «North County». Because physicians practicing in these communities were unwilling to treat low-​income patients, a small group of health professionals came together to contract with UCSD to provide the much-​needed health services. In 1973, NCHS became incorporated as a private, not-​for-​profit 501©(3) corporation.
