The Dr. William C. Herrick Community Health Care Library, a public library specializing in healthcare information, offers free health related resources, including an extensive selection of on-line information to consumers, and is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. The Grossmont Healthcare District (GHD), a public agency that supports health-related community programs and services in San Diego’s East County region, operates the library. Formed in 1952 to build and operate Grossmont Hospital, GHD serves as landlord of the hospital, including ownership of the property and buildings on behalf of local taxpayers. The District is governed by a five-member board of directors, each elected to four-year terms, who represent nearly 500,000 people residing within the District's 750 square miles in San Diego's East County. In 1991, the District leased the hospital's operation to Sharp HealthCare under a 30-year lease that runs through the year 2021. For more information about GHD, visit www.grossmonthealthcare.org.
