This rah rah for the Denver Jewish Hosptial goes over it's services for tuberclerosis patients. We get a nice tour which is directed by the Hospital's president at the time. We see the many people dedicated to fight this awful disease of the first part of the 20th century, where, as the card says, 2 people died of it in the 14 minutes we watched this film. Historically scary.

This film is a 40th anniversary film. Since National Jewish Hospital was founded in 1899 that dates the film at 1939. So more like c. 1940 than the date for the film suggests.
