The growing needs of health care opened doors for a campaign to start collect funds in order to build a larger Sanatorium. The first large donation came from Mr. & Mrs. Dicran Taylor of California. Many contributions followed, and a land was eventually purchased a land extending over an area of 19 hectares in the village of Azounieh – half way between Mdeyrij and Ain-Zhalta, at an altitude of about 1200 meters from sea level. The reasoning was to provide patients with a healthy and dry air, surrounded by splendid views of mountains and valleys overlooking the Baruk Cedars.

The main building was started in 1937, and on August 12^th of 1938, the Sanatorium was moved from Maameltein to its new location at Azounieh.
