WAVERLY HILLS SANATORIUM

After seeing the espisode of Waverly Hills Sanatorium on TAPS, I had to create a special section on this website due to the tremedous amount of deaths from tuberculosis that had occurred here.

If you would like to contribute to this project, please send your email here.

I will be adding more information as it comes available.

Below are links that pertain to this Sanatorium that I feel are important to the researcher.


Tuberculosis - Infection, with or without disease, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Humans usually acquire infection by breathing in infectious droplets, which have been expelled from the respiratory tract of infected persons. Tuberculosis disease mainly affects and damages the lungs, but the bacterium may spread to any other organ system. The disease is slowly progressive and chronic if untreated and death may result. Treatment with antibiotics is available, but must be administered over many months to achieve remission.
