Palm Springs is one of California's most iconic destinations — a sun-drenched desert city framed by dramatic mountain vistas, swaying palms, and 350+ days of sunshine a year. The broader Coachella Valley has evolved into a vibrant, diverse region of roughly 600,000 residents, offering world-class golf, tennis, hiking, and skiing at nearby Big Bear, alongside a rich cultural scene featuring high-end dining, live music, and acclaimed events like the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals. Easy weekend access to Los Angeles, San Diego, and Temecula wine country means you're never far from more, yet the valley's laid-back energy and welcoming community — including the highest percentage of LGBTQ+ residents of any U.S. city — make it a place physicians are proud to call home.
