Forty Years of Human Service (1930s)

The film “Forty Years of Human Service” highlights the establishment and impact of the National Jewish Hospital in Denver, founded by a group of Jewish leaders, including Rabbi William S. Fredman, in 1899. The hospital was created to provide care for tuberculosis patients regardless of their financial status, operating under the motto “none may enter who can pay, none can pay who enter.” It features modern medical facilities and individualized treatment, serving thousands of patients annually. The hospital also emphasizes vocational rehabilitation and education for patients, particularly children, helping them regain health and hope. Its research department has gained international recognition for advancements in tuberculosis treatment and prevention.
