Drayson Center

The theme of the hospital, Drayson Center and really the town of Loma Linda is to "Make Man Whole". As I said before this includes physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of man. Well, Steve has been taking great advantage of going to the Drayson Center 4-5 times a week which we give credit for helping to keep him doing so well.

The Drayson Center facilities include an indoor and outdoor track, cardio and weight room, 2 pools and jacuzzi, racquetball court, basketball court, volleyball, soccer field, and aerobic exercise classes for seniors, wheelchair bound, and in water.


The Drayson Center is named in honor of Ronald and Grace Drayson who donated the land to the University. This $8 million dollar gift provided the cornerstone for funding the construction of the center. The finished $16.2 million Center opened January 11, 1995, encompasses a 100,000 sq. ft. facility that serves as the focal point for out-of-class campus life at Loma Linda University.

We are a little bummed because they closed the pool December 9 - January 9 for general maintenance and for some reason are not reopening the pool until January 29th. We were really enjoying not only the use of the pool but had started water aerobic classes which were great.
