The Morongo Basin Healthcare District Board Directors met in regular meeting last night. First item that was approved was a request from the Hi-
Desert Medical Center for an extension of 120 days to spend $10 million on technology and $5 million in physician recruitment; this was to help the
medical center comply with a major requirement in its lease. Then in the financial report for September, it showed that clinic services were up, and September’s operating net income was 73 percent over budget. Finally in regards to reorganizing the new Community Health Clinic Board, CEO Jackie Comb reported that she is looking at the possibility of having past patients of clinic become board members.
