Forward The Jewish Consuptives’ Relief Society, located just outside of Denver, Colorado, was a sanatorium for people suffering from tuberculosis and was founded in 1904. The patients who received aide were given so without need of payment. Dr. Charles Spivak was the lead doctor in charge of JCRS and was known world wide for his superior tuberculosis treatments. National Jewish was JCRS’ competition, and what set aside JCRS was their acceptance of almost any person who applied; whereas National Jewish would only accept those who seemed to promis a full recovery. The JCRS campus has since gone into helping with cancer research, and currently houses Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design.
