The Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society of Denver, one of the nation’s largest free voluntary tuberculosis sanitoria, feels tuberculosis has been brought under such routine control that it is at once broadening its facilities to provide for cancer patients and for sufferers of other malignant diseases, and is changing its name to The American Medical Center at Denver.
In announcing these policy changes, Noah A. Atler, president of the J.C.R.S., told 1,000 persons at the fifty-first annual $100-per-couple dinner at the Hotel Sheraton Astor here, that antibiotic “miracle drugs” have proven so effective at Denver in treating TB that for the first time beds of the Society can be made available to victims of other malignant diseases.
