New York State Hospital for the Treatment of Incipient Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Raybrook, N.Y.)

In 1931, the Ray Brook facility was transferred from the Department of Social Welfare to the Department of Health and placed under the Division of Tuberculosis. Until 1939 the hospital treated only patients diagnosed as having incipient pulmonary tuberculosis. After a new infirmary opened in 1939, patients suffering from all forms of tuberculosis were admitted. Ray Brook received indigent patients who were citizens of the state for at least one year preceeding the date of application.
