The City of Hope Medical Center and Beckman Research Institute are located in Duarte, California, in the San Gabriel Valley approximately 10 miles east of Pasadena. The 112-acre, campus-style site is composed of 115 buildings, ranging from modular laboratories to the stunning new Helford Clinical Research Hospital, many with views of Mt. Baldy and the nearby San Gabriel Mountains.
The campus sits on City of Hope’s original location which dates back to 1913, when a small group of dedicated working-class men and women erected two tents as an infirmary for underprivileged tuberculosis sufferers. From these humble beginnings arose today’s world-class research and patient care facilities, situated amidst beautifully landscaped gardens.
One of the first institutions in the nation to recognize the value of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, City of Hope incorporates a full spectrum of services by clinical experts while also providing care for a patient's emotional, mental and spiritual needs. Employees at City of Hope National Medical Center touch the lives of many, whether providing hands-on patient care, ancillary and support services, or managing the myriad behind-the-scenes tasks that ensure our business units run smoothly.

In 1951, a separate research unit at City of Hope was created, later to become the Beckman Research Institute. The Institute is located on the grounds of the National Medical Center in Duarte, California. Here we have cultivated a tradition of worldwide leadership in innovative basic and translational research.
