New Clinic Adds Much-Needed Doctor To Coachella
A new medical clinic opened its doors in Coachella on Monday in what officials hope will provide much-needed health care for the city in which doctors are rare. Desert Oasis Healthcare started taking patients Monday in the primary care facility at 49-201 Grapefruit Blvd. in the office space next to the Wells Fargo. The clinic will be staffed with a family physician and a nurse practitioner specializing in pediatrics, so patients can continue to come back from childhood to their golden years. (Rumer, 3/7)

pH Miracle Author To Face New Trial
The author of the popular “pH Miracle” book series, convicted last month on two counts of practicing medicine without a license, will be retried on six other charges, including theft by fraud, a prosecutor said Monday. Robert Oldham Young has been jailed since Feb. 3, when a jury found him guilty of the two counts, acquitted him on one count and deadlocked on several others. Deputy District Attorney Gina Darvas announced Monday she would pursue a second trial on the remaining counts. (Figueroa, 3/7)
