Symbolizing the philosophy of humanitarian service to mankind that is the cornerstone of the City of Hope is the "Spirit of Life" plaza, created by Sculptor Robert Russin, which marks the main entrance of the National Pilot Medical Center, where no patient pays and admission is without regard for race, creed or geography. Founded in 1913 and supported by dedicated Auxiliaries and public generosity, the City of Hope seeks to influence medicine and science everywhere in the fight to conquer catastrophic diseases. |
