YES! Morongo Basin Community Health Center, located in 29 Palms and Yucca Valley are open and providing care to patients. The phone number 760-365-9305 is the primary contact number for both health center locations.

Why is there a new fence around the Yucca Valley campus? The fence was placed for patient and staff safety. Because multiple vehicle entrances imposed risk on pedestrian traffic within the parking lot, access was reduced to one entrance. The fence will also help deter vandalism that was occurring on the Yucca Valley property.

Enter the Yucca Valley campus from Palisade Drive on the south-side of the property. Use Prescott Avenue to turn onto Palisade Drive.

Morongo Basin Community Health Center is owned and operated by Morongo Basin Healthcare District. The health centers provide affordable medical services for adults and children, dental and behavioral healthcare, and the Wellness Wheels non-emergency free transportation program for medical and dental appointments. Our mission is to improve the health and wellness of the communities we serve. For more information about our services, visit www.MorongoBasinHealth.org
