Community Turns Out for Mobile Dental Screenings at CRC

OnTuesday, May 14, DAP Health's bright and welcoming Mobile Dental Unit rolled into the parking lot of the Borrego Springs Community Resource Center, located in The Mall on Palm Canyon Drive, offering free dental screenings to residents of all ages. From 1 to 5 p.m., community members were greeted by a team of providers and volunteers, ready to deliver compassionate and accessible care.


The event was a success—offering both direct health services and a chance to learn about the future of healthcare in Borrego Springs. This pop-up clinic is part of DAP Health’s broader commitment to strengthening healthcare access through its integration with Borrego Health.

CRC: A Vital Link for Local Health Access


The Borrego Springs Community Resource Center continues to play a critical role in connecting residents with essential services. By hosting events like this one, CRC ensures that even those in remote areas can receive preventative care close to home. The center regularly partners with healthcare providers and nonprofits to deliver support ranging from food assistance to transportation, and now, mobile health screenings.

  • Extended clinic hours and weekend availability
  • A unified EPIC electronic health records system with access through the MyChart patient portal
  • Ongoing care teams made up of familiar local providers

BSPAC’s New Sound System is Here

May 14, 2025
Something special happened at the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center this season—and you could hear it. Thanks to the success of Turn UP the Sound, a two-night fundraiser co-hosted with the Borrego Springs Film Institute (BSFI), BSPAC has officially installed a state-of-the-art sound system that will elevate every concert, live performance, and film screening for years to come. A Night to Remember A standout moment of the event was the return of acclaimed filmmaker Pat Battistini, who screened several of his award-winning short films—including Ms. Rossi, Ms. Rossi Takes the Cake, and Mrs. Rossi Meets the Mob. His engaging Q&A sessions brought laughter, behind-the-scenes insight, and heartfelt appreciation from the audience. Battistini’s presence reminded us all just how powerful great storytelling—and great sound—can be. What’s New in the Theater This upgrade goes far beyond basic audio—it’s a full transformation of the theater’s acoustic experience. The new system includes: 2 main speakers delivering full-stage coverage 2 subwoofers for rich, deep sound 2 delay speakers to ensure balanced sound throughout the space 4 front-fill speakers to enhance audio in the first rows 4 under-booth delay speakers to complete the immersive soundscape All-new amplifiers and precision audio processing hardware A custom-built amplifier rack and complete system tuning for optimal performance
