From 1913 to 1962, the university taught basic sciences in Loma Linda, but sent its students to Los Angeles for clinical experience. In 1961 the college was upgraded to university status and renamed after the city. On July 9, 1967, the university opened the Loma Linda University Medical Center with more than 125 patients from the old community hospital.
