Loma Linda (“Beautiful Hill”), originally known as “Mound City,” has a history of being a health-conscious community. The Seventh-day Adventist Church purchased the Loma Linda Resort hotel from a group of businessmen and physicians from Los Angeles hospitals and converted it into the Loma Linda Sanitarium in 1905. The Sanitarium eventually became a full-service medical facility and medical college, the forerunners of the Loma Linda University and Medical Center.
