A recommendation that the sanitarium at Duarte take steps to fall in line with the progress in occupational therapy was made by Abraham Shohan, executive secretary of the Jewish Consumptive and Ex-Patients’ Relief Association at the Association’s seventh annual convention. He also recommended that the need for a children’s pavilion and a preventorium be filled.
His report which was heard by nearly 200 delegates from all parts of the country showed that 316 patients had been cared for at the Duarte sanitarium during the last fiscal year and 158 at the ex-patients’ home at a total operating expense of $326,745. The convention was opened by J. A. Rosenkranz, chairman of the convention committee and addressed by Dr. M. I. Dvorkin, president.
