ONE-PS Talk of the Town

Topic: Exploring Health Care Resources in a Post-Pandemic Palm Springs

Hosted by the ONE-PS Communications Committee via Zoom on Tuesday, May 18, 2021, 5:30 – 7:15 p.m.

As we look ahead to the health care landscape here in Palm Springs, and as we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and visitors from around the world return to our city, there are myriad health care challenges for our diverse community:

  • COVID vaccination eligibility, access to vaccines (including new options such as mobile sites and non-traditional vaccination sites), and the ongoing challenges of responding to vaccine hesitancy
  • Safe and accessible health care services for seniors
  • Re-engagement with individual wellness / a safe return to preventive health maintenance such as cancer screenings
  • Access to mental health services
  • An expanding role in public health and health equity for our local health care providers
  • Managing new health care concerns of those who have recovered from COVID-19

Join our panel of three distinguished local health care providers for a conversation to better understand what resources and opportunities are available in our community:

  • Richard Ramhoff, Group Marketing Director, Desert Care Network (Desert Regional Medical Center/Hi-Desert Medical Center, JFK Memorial Hospital)
  • Vanessa Smith, Special Projects and Programs Manager, Desert Healthcare District and Foundation
  • C.J. Tobe, Director of Community Health, DAP Health

With this information, together we can become stronger and healthier in a post pandemic Palm Springs.
