Good News About the Borrego Springs Medical Clinic
An archived copy, not our reporting
This page reproduces an article published by the Borrego Sun on 1 November 2021, written by an unsigned staff report. We did not write it and we do not own it. We keep it because the paper's own address for it, www.borregosun.com/story/2021/11/01/borrego-clinic/good-news-about-the-borrego-springs-medical-clinic/6681.html, returned a Not Found when we last checked on 7 October 2026, and because the reporting matters to the subject of this site. This copy came from the Internet Archive snapshot. The text is as it was printed. Anything stated in it is the writer's own, and allegations in it were allegations when published. We removed personal contact details where they appeared, and marked the gap.
Sandra Hansberger, chairwoman of the Borrego Community Health Foundation Board of Trustees offers some good news for the local clinic. According to Hansberger, the Clinic will be receiving new equipment totaling about $27,000 in a grant from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Among other medical equipment, the Clinic will be receiving new exam tables, blood pressure cuffs, thermometers, nebulizers, and a wheelchair.
Clinic staff provided the list of needed upgrades. Under a separate ARPA grant for capital funding, the BCHF is happy to announce some needed improvements to the Clinic facility as well: new flooring, roof, cabinets, HVAC units, metal perimeter doors, exterior painting, and new security features, including lighting.
Hansberger, who resides in Borrego Springs, added that, “The Borrego Community Health Foundation looks forward to working with the community to identify other improvements that can be made at the Clinic. As a reminder, there are two general family practice physicians at the Clinic, and the Clinic remains open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, a pediatrician and women’s health specialist visit the Clinic two times a month. The Clinic offers basic x-ray services and the mobile mammography unit visits quarterly, as needed. Additional services may be added as demand increases.”
She promises that new information about an expanded relationship with Air Methods should be coming soon.
