The Healthy Desert, Healthy You Summit is presented by the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation, whose mission is to achieve optimal health at all stages of life for all District residents. Through partnerships, strategic investments, and community engagement, the District & Foundation works to address health needs and strengthen access to resources throughout the Coachella Valley.
The Third Annual Healthy Desert, Healthy You Summit brought together more than 500 community members, organizations, and leaders from across the Coachella Valley to explore how social determinants of health influence individual and community well-being. This year’s summit focused on four key areas: healthcare access, behavioral health, housing, and workforce development.
The Desert Healthcare District & Foundation Board and staff extend our thanks and appreciation to all attendees at the 2026 Healthy Desert Healthy You Summit on September 10. More than 400 people participated this year. The summit would not have been possible without the incomparable panelists, keynote speakers, sponsors, vendors, nonprofit partners, residents, and the dedicated Hocker Productions team.
