For the 41st successive year, tuberculosis patients from New York City led those of every other city in the United States in the number of patients’ days care obtained at the National Jewish Hospital at Denver, oldest national non-sectarian institution for the free care of the tuberculosis poor, according to the hospital’s annual report for 1940, prepared by Medical Director Dr. Charles J. Kaufman and made public today by Paul Felix Warburg, national vice-chairman. A total of 848 patients were treated during the fiscal year, of whom 428 were resident in the hospital. The patients professed to nine different religious denominations and creeds, in keeping with the institution’s non-sectarian policy.
