An Emergency Drive to raise $50,000 for the Beth Israel Hospital is being held in Denver this week, under the leadership of Mrs. M. D. Guldman, an active worker for the institution. The hospital is the only Jewish general hospital in the Rocky Mountain region, and is built adjoining the Beth Israel Old Folks’ Home, which is supported partially by the local Community Chest.
Residents of the Old Folks’ Home are among the many who receive free treatment at the hospital. One-fourth of all the patients are charity cases, and this is one of the reasons for the Emergency Drive.
