Lekol Gratis.

In 1905, the unwavering dedication of those who promoted healthful living and provided care for the sick has shaped and sustained one of the leading health-sciences educational institutions and hospitals in the nation.

Loma Linda University and Loma Linda University Medical Center, as it is known today, proudly celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 2005. From humble beginnings, Loma Linda University and Loma Linda University Medical Center have grown to be leaders in patient care and pioneers of life-saving medicine.

The property where Loma Linda now stands was first developed as a plush Mound City Hotel during the 1887-1888 boom days. Following the 1890 depression, the hotel complex failed.

A group of investors bought the failed property, investing $155,000 in hopes of making it one of the finest health resorts in Southern California.

This effort also failed.

It was the kind of place that aroused enthusiasm.

When Ellen G. White, Adventist pioneer and spiritual guide, first visited Loma Linda, she was enchanted by its charms, describing it as "the most desirable place I have ever seen for a sanitarium."

Through divine providence, the property came to the attention of John Burden, one of the founders of Loma Linda.

The asking price of $110,000 was prohibitive for the fledgling Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The price continued to drop, however, until the owners ordered the property sold for $40,000. With private funds, John Burden and others obtained an option on the property and paid off the note. It then discounted to $38,900 before the end of the year.
