Desert Healthcare District & Foundation Board to convene monthly Board meeting at earlier start time on March 25

The public is welcome to attend on Tuesday, March 25, the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation's monthly Board meetings, which will take place in Palm Desert. Virtual attendance is also an option (Please see below for details).

The District portion of the meeting will begin at 4 p.m. (PST), an earlier start time that was recently approved by the Board. It will be immediately followed by the Foundation meeting and a Special Board meeting. All meetings are governed by the same seven-member Board of Directors.

 

Here are a few expected highlights from the agenda items the Board will consider:

 

• Grant #1496 request for $86,250 from the Carreón Foundation, which since 1991 has provided financial assistance to local students pursuing higher education. It will fund support services and $5,000 scholarships for 15 students pursuing healthcare careers, specifically aimed at juniors, seniors, and postgraduate students. 
•  Update on healthcare services outreach to vulnerable communities through the District & Foundation's mobile medical clinics program.
• The District & Foundation's new Legislative Policy Committee gives it first report to the full Board.

 

Following the monthly meetings, a Special Board meeting will be called to order at 5:30 p.m.
