The National City market for surgery centers

The city has contracted 1.7% since 2020, and referral demand for surgery centers generally follows population and traffic volume rather than anything more specific to the practice.
Chula Vista (5 mi), Lemon Grove (6 mi), Imperial Beach (7 mi) all sit inside a normal driving radius, which means the real National City market for surgery centers is considerably larger than the city itself. Matching runs on radius, not on municipal boundaries.
