At the beginning of the 20th century, well-known provincial doctors (Gran, Obraztsov, Kavetsky, Ern) took the initiative to open "school sanatoriums" for weak health male and female gimnasium students from poor families. The first children's health resorts, at the expense of philanthropists (Alfred fon Wakano, Andrey Subbotin, etc.) appeared in Samara region, in the summer of 1900 and 1901: at the Sernovodsky resort and in several villages located in picturesque places near the river and forest. Since the project of school sanatoriums was a great success, it was decided to organize them every year. However, the events of 1917 made adjustments to their functioning, and they were only able to revive from the mid 1950s. At this time, more than 10 regional children's sanatoriums began to work in the department of the regional health department of the Kuybyshev region. The most popular profiles in that post-war period were tuberculosis, rheumatism, rickets, etc. Department №1 of the sanatorium, was opened one of the first among these children's sanatoriums, in 1956, as the children's anti-tuberculosis sanatorium №2, on the ninth summer glade and in 1972 it was named "Yunost".

Today’s department № 2 of the sanatorium in the past is a children's anti-tuberculosis sanatorium №4 on Shvernika street, which was opened in 1957 and subsequently received the name of the sanatorium “Solnechny”. And since 1972, the building of a boarding school of sanatorium type №10 in the township «Yuzhny» was transferred to the children's cardio-rheumatological sanatorium "Druzhna", now department №3 of the sanatorium "Yunost". A distinctive feature of children's sanatoriums in our area was close cooperation with scientists and the introduction of scientific developments in clinical practice. Candidates and doctors of medical sciences, employees of the Kuibyshev Medical Institute, took an active part in the development of the system of children's sanatoriums. And in the crisis period of the 1990s, the children’s sanatorium service in the Samara region was saved thanks to the correct and balanced decision of the leadership of the regional health department. The latest history of the «Yunost» sanatorium is associated with the development of modern technologies and their implementation in the healing process, while minimizing drug exposure.
