Templeton, CA., September 17, 2008 – Twin Cities Community Hospital will celebrate the one year anniversary of its newly constructed Tower on September 24th at 10:00. Taking great pride in serving their community, Twin Cities wants to take this opportunity to thank patients and their families, medical and nursing staff, and all employees who were integral to the success of the project. The construction took over four years, and the hospital grew by three floors, three units, 30 beds, including 23 emergency suites. Among the invited guests, will be Twin’s governing Board members, local officials and representatives of the medical staff.

“Twin Cities Community Hospital is committed to advancing hospital care in our community. Our Hospital and Medical Staff will continue to provide new facilities and advanced technology to serve our growing community and its residents,” said Rick Lyons, chief executive officer, “And, as the North County’s largest employer, we are proud of the economic impact the growth of our hospital has had, which includes ninety six additional staff members and forty one physicians.”

Twin Cities Community Hospital is the only hospital serving the northern part of San Luis Obispo County, and the closest to Camp Roberts Military Base.  During the 30 years since the hospital was formed through the merger of War Memorial Hospital in Paso Robles and Atascadero General Hospital, the number of North County residents and visitors who turn to the hospital for care has consistently grown to approximately 80,000 visits per year.
