Desert Oasis Healthcare Supports Alzheimer's Coachella Valley and Its Upcoming "Celebration of Care" Open House
DOHC champions vital dementia support services ahead of ACV's October 29 Celebration of Care PALM DESERT, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2025 / One of the desert's most impactful nonprofits, Alzheimer's Coachella Valley (ACV), is inviting the community to attend its upcoming Open House: A Celebration of Care on Wednesday, October 29, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the Berger Foundation Charitable Center, located at 75105 Merle Street, Suite 800 in Palm Desert. Guests will enjoy an inspiring evening hosted by KESQ meteorologist Patrick Evans. This special fundraising event will support ACV's mission of providing free support, education, and resources for people and families affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Alzheimer's accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases and currently impacts an estimated 610,000 Californians, a number projected to grow to 840,000 by 2025. Alzheimer's is the 5th leading cause of death in California and the only condition in the top 10 without a known cause, cure, or prevention. An estimated 19,635 seniors in the Coachella Valley are currently living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias (based on a 17% prevalence rate applied to the senior population) and not to mention the estimated 1 to 3 caregivers impacted for each diagnosed. All donations to ACV stay local, directly benefiting those in the Coachella Valley. Alzheimer's Coachella Valley offers a wide range of programs designed to support both those living with dementia and their caregivers. One of its cornerstone programs is Club Journey, a social engagement group that provides stimulating activities and connection for those with early to mid-stage memory loss. 'Without the support of our community, and grantors like DOHC, ACV would not be in existence. DOHC's generous donations and sponsorships ensure that ACV programs grow along with the needs of our community,' said Dominick Calvano, President and founder of ACV. Desert Oasis Healthcare (DOHC) has been a proud and passionate supporter of ACV, recognizing the organization's life-changing and life-saving impact on local families facing dementia. Our partnership is rooted in a shared commitment to providing compassionate, community-based care for those navigating cognitive decline. One of our joint goals is the expansion of ACV's vital Club Journey program - from two days a week to three - so even more people can access the social connection, enrichment, and support that this program provides. DOHC is honored to stand alongside ACV in this mission, ensuring no one in our community faces Alzheimer's alone. 'Alzheimer's Coachella Valley is a lifeline for so many families in our community, and DOHC is proud to support their mission of compassionate, local care,' said Dr. Marc Hoffing, Medical Director of DOHC. DOHC is proud to support ACV's life-changing work and encourages the community to get involved in this important cause.

Drummer of rock band faces new charges in child pornography case
The former drummer of Canadian indie rock band The New Pornographers has been hit with more disturbing allegations in a child pornography case. Joe Seiders, 44, was arrested in April after he was accused of recording an 11-year-old boy using the bathroom in a Chick-fil-A restaurant in California. Now, two more minors have come forward and accused Seiders of more unsettling accusations. The drummer has been additionally charged with committing lewd acts with a minor by force or fear, using or coercing a minor to produce child pornography, possession of child pornography, annoying/molesting a child, and invasion of privacy. On Monday April 7, Seiders was accused of recording the young boy with his cell phone while he used the restroom of the Palm Desert Chick-fil-A. Then two days later, the Palm Desert Sheriff's Station received a second report at the same restaurant of a man following young boys in and out of the bathroom. When deputies arrived they found Seiders and he was arrested. After serving search warrants, the Sheriff's Office linked Seiders to both incidents alongside additional crimes, including child pornography. 'Evidence was located implicating him in the two reported incidents, along with additional crimes, including possessing child pornography,' the news release read. The New Pornographers has yet to address the new allegations against the drummer. Following Seiders's initial charges making headlines, his bandmates released a joint statement and said they have cut ties with the drummer. They wrote: 'Everyone in the band is absolutely shocked, horrified, and devastated by the news of the charges against Joe Seiders - and we have immediately severed all ties with him. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by his actions.' Seiders has been a part of the Canadian indie rock band since 2014. The group was first formed in 1997, and the current members are Neko Case, Carl Newman, John Collins, Todd Fancey, and Kathryn Calder. Their former members include Destroyer frontman Dan Bejar and Grammy nominee Kurt Dahle. The New Pornographers performed at Coachella in 2007 and 2011. When their longtime drummer Dahle left in 2014, he was replaced by Seiders. He toured with the band and performed on their three most recent studio albums.
