Palomar Medical Center Escondido is a

The first hospital in Downtown Escondido opened in 1950 as Palomar Memorial Hospital. A tower addition, McLeod Tower, was completed in 1974. The hospital was renamed to Palomar Medical Center in 1987.[2] It is now known as Palomar Medical Center Downtown Escondido, which houses psychiatric and rehabilitation wards.

In late 2021 to early 2022, the old hospital campus was slowly demolished and will now be replaced by a mixed use/senior living/apartment complex. To safely take down the building, heavy asbestos abatement was performed by workers as the building was built in the ‘50s and contained asbestos insulation.
