<strong>CLEVELAND</strong> MUNICIPAL TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUM Warrensville, Ohio To HON. DUDLEY S. BLOSSOM, ANNUAL REPORT 1926 DIRECTOR <strong>OF</strong> PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE. The year 1926 has been one of progress at the Sanatorium. Much has been accomplished in developing the Children's Colony to a point where this unit is more nearly fulfilling the purposes for which it is intended, namely to guard children who are, by reason of close contact with tuberculosis cases, likely to themselves become victims of the disease and to give particular attention to children who have already shown evidences of the disease in such a way as can best be done in an institution where the equipment and personnel are suited and adapted to the care of little folks. A child illwith tuberculosis or with any other disease is at a disadvantage when the institutional care offered is by necessity in the same wards with adults. For this reason the development of the Children's Colony at Warrensville is serving a long needed purpose in the handling of the tuberculosis problem as it presents itself in the City of Cleveland. In 1926 more hospital days of treatment were rendered by the Sanatorium than has been the case for any previous year. The total bed days for 1926 were 93,814 as compared with 92,046 for the previous year. The total number of cases occupying beds in 1926 was 694 as compared with 689 in 1925. It will be seen that the number of individual cases handled was therefore but five in excess of the previous year but the average length of stay of all cases treated during 1926 since their admission was approximately 237 days per patient whereas the average bed days of treatment for all patients treated in 1925 was 232. The importance of having patients remain in the institution long enough for beneficial results of treatment is obvious and the importance of this matter is stressed at all times so that patients will remain sufficiently long to obtain lasting and worthwhile results of their stay at the institution. The average population of the institution for the year 1926 per day was 257 whereas in 1925 the average daily number of cases treated was 250. CHILDREN'S COLONY. Throughout the year the operation of the Children's Colony has been subject to certain temporary arrangements. The building program authorized at the fall election of 1925, whereby it is expected to soon complete a building for the pretuberculous children who, by reason of close contact with cases of the disease,
