Two premier medical institutions were started in Duarte in the early part of the 20th century. In 1928, the Jewish Relief Association
started a tuberculosis sanitarium on 40 acres of land south of Duarte Road. This later evolved into the world-renowned City of Hope
Medical Center, a recognized
Los Angeles Home Values leader in fighting cancer and other catastrophic diseases. In 1930, a group of Carmelite nuns known as
the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles established the Santa Teresita Rest Home, known today as Santa Teresita
Medical Center. From four small cottages, this medical facility has developed into one of the finest hospitals in the region.
Like many of its neighbors, modern Duarte is a bedroom community. The City of Duarte is geographically isolated from population centers
to the east and south due to the San Gabriel River and rock quarry operations in Irwindale and Azusa. These factors have proven to be an
ongoing economic challenge for local Home Values businesses as the city attracts little outside spending, and most residents spend their money
elsewhere. Still, over the past few decades, the city leadership has succeeded in bringing retail development to the western portion
of Duarte beginning, notably, with the redevelopment of the Big Sky Drive-in Theater as a shopping plaza with a Gemco superstore
(which is now a Target).
