Essex Mountain Sanatorium was a 20-building complex built by Essex County, located on 200 acres at the highest point in Essex County, in present-day Verona, promoting recovery for patients with pure air and water. Tuberculosis, often called TB, was a highly-communicable disease, which most often affected a patient\u2019s lungs, frequently causing death. For many years before the introduction of antibiotics, TB was a major public health threat. Special hospitals for long-term patients, called sanatoriums, were a way to provide rest, good nutrition, and pure air, with the hope that patients would recover sufficiently.<\/p>\n

The program will also include a small exhibit with medical tools that predate the use of antibiotics and publications about tuberculosis, including national TB sanatorium guides that listed tuberculosis facilities in each state.<\/p>\n

The program is cosponsored by the Global Tuberculosis Institute at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.<\/p>\n
