Kavod on the Road – Stories from Denver’s Jewish Consumptive Relief Society

August 20, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm MDT

$5

Take a compelling look into the history of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society (JCRS), a groundbreaking institution founded in 1904 to care for Jewish tuberculosis patients. Located in Denver, it became a beacon of hope for thousands who came seeking treatment in Colorado’s dry climate.

Through personal stories, historical photos, and archival materials, this program explores the human side of the sanatorium movement—highlighting the resilience of patients, the dedication of caregivers, and the community-wide effort to provide dignity, healing, and support during one of the most challenging public health crises of the early 20th century.

Discover how JCRS shaped Jewish life in Denver, contributed to the fight against tuberculosis, and left a legacy that still resonates today.
