Our Focus Areas

The Barstow Health Foundation is advancing four core focus areas designed to strengthen healthcare access, improve outcomes, and support long-term wellness across Barstow and surrounding rural communities throughout the High Desert.

1. Local Healthcare Support & Equipment

We collaborate with local healthcare providers to identify and support critical equipment, technology, and resources that improve patient care, safety, and access—benefiting Barstow as a regional hub and the surrounding rural communities that rely on it.

2. Community Wellness Initiatives

We invest in programs focused on prevention, health education, screenings, behavioral health, senior well-being, youth wellness, and healthy living—expanding opportunities for healthier lifestyles across Barstow and its surrounding communities.

3. Healthcare Workforce Development

We support scholarships, training programs, and strategic partnerships that strengthen the regional healthcare workforce—developing nurses, technicians, behavioral health providers, community health workers, and emergency responders who serve both Barstow and surrounding rural areas.

4. Community Health Projects & Facilities

We support community-focused health projects, including wellness spaces, training environments, prevention programs, and resource centers that expand access to care and serve the broader High Desert region.
