Closure planned for Saddleback San Clemente ER sparks concern
At a City Council meeting critics warn a 40 mile gap would open between Mission Viejo and Oceanside ERs as population grows. Memorial Care officials say bypassing San Clemente ER saves lives by directing patients to facilities with specialized care. Mayors and city leaders seek options including a stand-alone urgent care or free-standing ER, while presses for state legislation to allow emergency ambulances to use alternative facilities. Aerial drone images of the beach will be shared to mobilize support to keep the hospital open.
