While acknowledging the importance of climate and the possibility of physical relocation of some patients to a sanatorium in a climate more suitable for their treatment, the author argues that the Jewish community must support the creation of local sanatoria in order to best isolate and treat the greatest number of patients and protect the wider community against the spread of the illness.
