Strategic Plan

  The Desert Healthcare District & Foundation Board and staff are developing a new strategic plan to inform future funding and programming decisions over the next five years. In February 2026, we welcomed Coachella Valley residents to engage with us during seven community listening sessions led by consultant Sowen. A virtual session was conducted in March 2026. The information collected during the eight sessions will be compiled into a Community Engagement Report, which will be presented to the Board and the public in the near future. 

The District & Foundation is expected to approve a new strategic plan to implement in July 2026.  

If you have a question about the strategic planning process, please email us at info@dhcd.org.

In October 2021, the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation Board adopted its current five-year strategic plan which expires this year. Read the current plan: Desert Healthcare District (DHCD) Grants Program
