A portion of medical center staff and auxilians gathered in front of the hospital entrance for the annual photo opportunity in anticipation of National Hospital Week, May 9 through 15.  This year's national theme is "Celebrating health, hope and healing."  Hospitals are more than a place where people go to heal.  They represent hope to communities that foster health.  From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to healthy and optimisitic communities.  Hi-Desert Medical Center is proud to serve the communities of the Morongo Basin!
