| In the late 1950s, the Immaculate Heart of Mary (an order of Catholic nuns) sent Sister Columba to West Covina with an old Buick and $25 to build a community hospital. The Sisters used all the property they owned as collateral to purchase land for the hospital. This included their high school, college, library and even the Mother House in Los Angeles. |

In 1962, they finally opened Queen of the Valley Hospital thanks to the support of local business leaders and the Queen of the Valley Auxiliary. |
