PS Test Clinic Recognized for Community Wellness Efforts
A Palm Springs medical clinic was recognized Tuesday for its role in improving community health and wellness across the Coachella Valley.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate PS Test as an official community partner of the Blue Zones Project Palm Springs, an initiative focused on helping residents live healthier lives through access to wellness programs and preventive care.
The event took place at the clinic’s location on North Luring Drive and included an official blue ribbon cutting along with remarks from local leaders and community partners.
Mayor Naomi Soto and Councilmember Ron deHearte joined clinic leadership and city officials in recognizing the partnership.
Officials highlighted the importance of expanding access to community-centered health services throughout Riverside County and praised the clinic’s accessibility within the Palm Springs community.
PS Test operates as Riverside County’s first clinic offering free SDI test-and-treat services, helping improve access to preventive care and treatment at no cost to patients.
Supporters of the initiative say partnerships like this are part of a broader effort to strengthen public health and wellness resources across the valley.
