Prior to 1948, desert residents and visitors requiring hospitalization were transported to healthcare facilities in Indio, Loma Linda, Redlands, San Bernardino, and Riverside. In 1942, when the United States entered World War II, the U.S. Army bought and converted the El Mirador Hotel in Palm Springs into the 1,600-bed Torney General Hospital for wounded soldiers.
After the war ended in 1945, El Mirador saw several different owners until it reopened in 1952. Desert Healthcare District was created in 1948 to serve residents within a 457-square-mile area of the Coachella Valley. The District included communities in the western end of the valley, with Cook Street as a cutoff.

Contributions to the RPP were made solely by the Desert Hospital Corporation for the benefit of its employees. Employees did not contribute to the plan. Since that time, the Desert Healthcare District (District) has maintained the RPP. An employee of Tenet cannot withdraw his or her vested RPP amount until they terminate their employment with Tenet.
The Wellness Park, along with its interactive gardens, is an integral part of the Desert Healthcare District's commitment to health promotion and community collaboration and partnerships designed to improve the health and quality of life for all District residents.
The five-acre Wellness Park, located at the corner of Via Miraleste and Tachevah Road in Palm Springs, was inspired by the Desert Healthcare District's support of the federal government's Healthy People 2010 program, which encourages fitness and disease prevention.
