The article“Cancer Clinic Helping Curb Nation’s Most Dread Disease,” LaGrangeDaily News, 4 June 1952, pp. 1 & 6, suggests that a clinic was founded in1923. However, this may be a reference to an earlier clinic founded byDr. Enoch Callaway for the relief of indigent patients–this clinic treatedcancer patients but may not have specialized in cancer.
