YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH & LONGEVITY INSTITUTE IN 2003. CAN YOU TELL US THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND INCORPORATING THE INSTITUTE INTO THE FOUR SEASONS WESTLAKE VILLAGE? David Murdock’s original vision for the California Health & Longevity Institute was that it would be located in a luxury hotel so that multiday evaluations and treatments could be provided in coordination with five-star accommodations. During the construction of this facility to house both California Health & Longevity Institute and Four Seasons Westlake Village, California Health & Longevity Institute operated a standalone Wellness clinic to develop protocols to be used once the current facility was open. California Health & Longevity Institute and Four Seasons Westlake Village had a “hard” opening on November 30, 2006. ILHA 73
