Over 4,000 delegates and representatives of hundreds of Jewish organizations throughout the country will gather at the Hotel Astor, March 21 to 25 for the 38th Annual National Convention of the Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society, it was announced here today. The Society operates the free non-sectarian Denver Sanatorium at Spivak, Colorado, which is the largest Institution of its kind in the world for the treatment and cure of tuberculous poor who are unable to afford private care.
The delegates will meet to hear reports of the officers and to take action on the Society’s proposed activities for 1942, including the Sanatorium’s recent offer to Federal authorities to increase its facilities by one hundred more beds to meet the situation created by war conditions and the rapid rise of tuberculosis.
