RRH offers home health services through its licensed Rural Health Clinic.
Staffed with qualified RNs; Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists; and a Clinical Social Worker, VNS and HBT Services provides skilled nursing, terminal care, therapy, and counseling services. Contact us at (760) 499-3617 today to learn more about our visiting nurse services in Ridgecrest.
