Message from the President

On behalf of the Desert Healthcare District Board of Directors and Staff, thank you for taking the time to visit our website. 

The five members of our Board of Directors are elected by the residents of the communities we serve.  The District’s service area, 457 square miles, includes the cities of Desert Hot Springs, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert (west of Cook Street) and extends into the unincorporated areas of Thousand Palms and Mountain Center.

The mission of the District is to promote good health for the District’s residents by providing community grants and by protecting and enhancing the assets of the District.  In 2011 the District provided close to $4 million dollars to non-profit organizations for health-related programs for the benefit of District residents.  In mid-2011 a $5 million dollar solar parking lot at the Desert Regional Medical Center will be completed, significantly enhancing the assets of the District.    

Check our website for the latest “District News”, “Grants” and “Healthy Initiatives”.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any questions.

Sincerely,

Mark Matthews

Board President
