This hospital was Dedicated in 1971 in honor of Dwight D Eisenhower, our distinguished 34th President, who lived part time in the valley during his retirement years. In 1969 Bob Hope's wife Dolores spearheaded the formation of the Eisenhower Medical Center Auxiliary, a group which grew from a handful of people into one of the most successful volunteer and philanthropic organizations of its kind in the world. There are names on buildings, and plaques everywhere, including elevators, honoring donors to this, 130 acre, not-for-profit institution. It was recently rated in the top 100 hospitals nationwide. In the past 17 years my wife and I have received wonderful medical care by Doctors and staff here. On our recommendation members of our extended family have traveled here, from out of state, for surgical procedures. We all agree Eisenhower is a classy Five Star Medical Center.
