Nightingale Society

“Women of Fame, Power & Influence”

The Nightingale Society is a volunteer group of concerned women who want to make an immediate difference in the lives of the less fortunate in our community. The Society was formed to meet the non-clinical, yet very real needs of home health and hospice patients on service through our Palm Desert office, who do not have the financial, family or social resources to meet them.

Examples of these needs include:

• A new mom who has no crib for her baby
• A senior with a chronic respiratory illness who suffers through the heat and humidity of the summer without an air conditioner or swamp cooler to aide in her breathing
• A grandmother living independently who needs a gardener to trim overgrown shrubs and then would like a patio table and chairs to relax outside in her yard

The needs are simple, but meeting them will have a positive impact on the quality of life for the individual.

Members of The Nightingale Society pay a one-time membership fee of $100, and agree to help meet identified needs through their cash gifts, referral of services or contact names for donation of items or services.

To become involved with The Nightingale Society, please contact the Director of Development, Doug Morin at 760-346-3982 or at
