Abstract |
"The fame of Colorado's capitol city, nestling in a valley flooded with sunshine, protected from the extreme heat and cold, attracted not only the ambitious searcher for wealth, but also the enfeebled seeker of health." (Rabbi William Friedman, 1923). For many years Denver faced a serious social problem when hundreds of people severely ill with tuberculosis, also known as the "White Plague" converged on the city, attracted by the reputation Denver had already acquired as the "world's sanatorium." Because of the onslaught of consumptives, beds for patients in city and state general hospitals were so scarce that the poor were frequently left to their own devices, often dying in the streets. In 1899, the Jewish community, propelled by the concept of Gemilas Chasodim (acts of kindness), erected National Jewish Hospital (NJH), the first sanatorium in Denver for tuberculosis victims. With the financial assistance of the International Order of B'nai B'rith, the hospital opened its doors to Jews and gentiles alike. In accordance with contemporary wisdom, the NJH adopted a program that emphasized the benefits of fresh air, good nutrition and rest. Many early prominent physicians were associated with the hospital, including Dr. Saling Simon, Dr. Robert Levy, and Dr. John Elsner. |

One of the first people to conceive of a free hospital for the indigent tuberculosis victims in Denver, Colorado, was Frances Wisebart Jacobs. She realized the reality of the situation in Denver, launching a relentless campaign to arouse public awareness on behalf of the indigent consumptives. She sought out businessmen and political leaders to get their support in raising funds for a new hospital. She found an ally in a young, energetic rabbi who had just come to Denver, Rabbi William Sterne Friedman. Rabbi Friedman enlisted the financial support of some of the trustees of his congregation, Temple Emanuel, pleading that concern for the sick and indigent has always been a vital tenet of Jewish tradition.
Mrs. Jacobs was the impetus behind the founding of the hospital which finally opened its doors in 1899, National Jewish Hospital was the first sanatorium in Denver for tuberculosis victims. With the financial assistance of the International Order of B'nai B'rith, the hospital opened its doors to Jews and gentiles alike. This vital support came largely through the efforts of Louis Anfenger, a prominent local Jewish citizen who was also a founder of both Temple Emanuel and the Denver B'nai B'rith. The National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives opened with one hospital building - the Frances Jacobs Hospital Building. Samuel Grabfelder of Louisville, Kentucky, was named president, and Alfred Mueller was named secretary.
As a result of this national support, National Jewish Hospital introduced a revolutionary concept to tuberculosis treatment by offering free services to indigent consumptives. The minutes of September 24, 1899, state that "no pay shall be accepted from any patient and that the hospital should be absolutely free to those suffering from consumption, who are unable for want of means to procure proper attention." Only patients with incipient tuberculosis, where treatment could be most efficacious, were to be admitted to NJH, and the length of stay was limited to six months. These conditions reflect the medical opinion of the time and the scarcity of hospital beds for consumptives. It was commonly thought that attempting to treat advanced cases only wasted time and money that could be more profitably directed toward patients who had a good chance of recovery. For over a century, the National Jewish Hospital has provided quality medical care to people from all over the nation.
In 1978, National Jewish Hospital merged with the National Asthma Center, whose records are also part of the Ira M. Beck Memorial Archives. Today National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine continues to treat patients from throughout the country with cutting-edge medicine and research.
The collection includes correspondence, patient records, minutes, reports, and objects from 1899 through 1990. The NJH records contain revealing documentation of the seekers of health such as patient demographics and characteristics and detailed information regarding the early treatment of tuberculosis.
