Beginning 1991, the Institute conducted its educational and research programs in space initially sponsored by the Desert Hospital and The Desert Healthcare District. Advances in technology and the desirability of a permanent and expanded facility prompted the trustees of the Institute to plan its own building to house its International Headquarters. Its new building was occupied by the Institute in March of 2005, on an 11-acre property which was gifted on Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage, California. It is here that the opportunity for expanding its life-saving missions will continue.
