The association purchased 10 acres of land in Duarte, California, approximately 16 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, and dubbed the property the Los Angeles Sanatorium. Opened January 11, 1914. The sanatorium was nicknamed "the city of hope," With tuberculosis becoming less prevalent, executive sanatorium director Samuel H. Golter began an initiative in 1946 to transform the sanatorium into a full medical center, supported by a research institute and post-graduate education. The Los Angeles Sanatorium officially changed its name to City of Hope National Medical Center in 1949) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Hope_National_Medical_Center#Fundraising> |
