The Healthy Desert, Healthy You Summit wrapped up its first day in Rancho Mirage with a spotlight on one of the Coachella Valley’s most pressing issues — the future of the Salton Sea. The daylong event featured panels on air quality, water quality, and infrastructure, drawing strong attendance from residents and community leaders concerned about the region’s environmental health. The final panel, moderated by NBC Palm Springs Olivia Sandusky, focused on the health impacts of the Salton Sea, where shrinking waters have created dust pollution and ecological challenges.
