Desert Mission Programs
Community service is the cornerstone of the John C. Lincoln Health Network. The network began in 1927 as Desert Mission, addressing the health and social needs of struggling families in North Phoenix. Today, we continue the legacy of caring for our community.
The goal of our Desert Mission programs is to meet the basic needs of our most vulnerable community members and help them reach their full potential for health and self-sufficiency.
