WelbeHealth Center Opens in La Quinta, Offering Vital Resources for Seniors 1
The WelbeHealth Center in La Quinta hosted its open house ceremony, welcoming over 100 seniors from across the Coachella Valley. Designed as a one-stop hub, the center offers comprehensive mental and physical health services tailored to meet the needs of older adults. Dr. Matt Patterson emphasized the growing demand for senior-focused care, citing a population where nearly 20% are aged 60 or older. "A PACE program like WelbeHealth provides coordinated services that older adults with complex needs can greatly benefit from," Patterson noted. The celebration featured live mariachi music and remarks from the mayors of La Quinta and Cathedral City, who praised the center for addressing healthcare access and diversity within the community. Attendee Lynn Barfield expressed her appreciation for the center’s accessible transportation options and its supportive, welcoming environment. "It's comforting to know there's a place where love and care are evident, and getting there is stress-free," she shared.
