You may call it the heart of downtown Palm Springs and it was a long-time coming. Now, after a $450 million revitalization effort downtown Palm Springs bustles and features The Rowan, one of the first hotels built from the ground up in years. In all directions downtown you’ll find amazing culinary spots, art and museums, and fashion retail.

One of the first retail shopping complexes ever built in California still anchors downtown. Originally home to 38 shops, 21 studio apartments, eight penthouses, a kitchen and dining room for guests staying in the residences, a theatre, a 150-car garage (built underground), servants’ living quarters, and a gasoline station.

If outdoor recreation is your thing, ,Palm Springs maintains beautiful public parks,  as well as an aquatic center with olympic size swimming pool. There are public outdoor tennis courts. The city and region have many beautiful public and private golf courses. And hiking trails are numerous throughout the mountains in palms springs and surrounding cities. With 350+ days of sunshine, outdoor recreation is great enjoyment.

Just out of frame of this image stands Desert Regional Medical Center. The Center joined with Hi-Desert Medical Center and JFK Memorial Hospital to create a new community of care: Desert Care Network.

With three hospitals, specialty centers, and one of the largest primary care networks in desert area, Desert Care Network sets a new standard of service and dedication to the health and well-being of the people of the desert region.
