History

Hi Desert Medical Center was built in 1976. In 2002, the Hi-Desert Medical Center celebrated its 25th anniversary of bringing quality health care to the residents of the Morongo Basin. The Hospital was born of a consolidation of two previously existing hospital districts: The Hi-Desert Memorial Hospital in Yucca Valley and the Twentynine Palms Hospital District merged to create the present organization.
