San Diego hospital evacuations

San Diego County:

In total, three San Diego County hospitals evacuated 315 patients. They are Aurora Behavioral Health Care/San Diego, Pomerado Hospital in Poway and Fallbrook Hospital. None have reopened, but Pomerado and Fallbrook would like to by the end of the week, state officials said.

An additional 14 nursing homes evacuated 1,293 residents. Three homes have since returned with 442 residents, said Kathleen Billingsley, deputy director for the Center for Healthcare Quality at the California Department of Public Health.

"I think it went extremely well," Billingsley said of the evacuations. "I'm very proud of the job that we have done."
