1914 - Free Clinic Building for Minorities

In 1914, a new three-story Clinic building became an integral part of the sanitarium, providing 100 beds solely for the benefit of minority patients; care was free. The Clinic Building also housed an outpatient dispensary on the ground floor and complete operating facilities on the third floor. By the early 1920s, the Clinic Building was staffed by 50 physicians and was treating between 20,000 and 25,000 patients annually.
