Association Of Tuberculosis Clinics
The Association of Tuberculosis Clinics (also known as Association of Tuberculosis Clinics of Greater New York) was an early 20th-century organization of tuberculosis clinics based in New York City, New York (state), New York. It was formed in 1907 with eight clinics in Manhattan and The Bronx, and was considered to be a forward movement of great importance in the tuberculosis campaign in New York City. Aside from the general object of combating tuberculosis and alleviating the condition of tuberculosis persons, the association aimed to prevent patients drifting from one clinic to another. The Association was composed of physicians who were chiefs of the tuberculosis divisions of their respective clinics. Until the permanent alliance of medical and social experts was arranged, the work for the care of consumptives was done in such an unsystematized fashion that the physicians, visiting nurses and charity agents were forced to take up cases without reference to each other.

Tuberculosis Organizations
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' (MTB) bacteria. Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body. Most infections show no symptoms, in which case it is known as latent tuberculosis. Around 10% of latent infections progress to active disease which, if left untreated, kill about half of those affected. Typical symptoms of active TB are chronic cough with blood-containing mucus, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. It was historically referred to as consumption due to the weight loss associated with the disease. Infection of other organs can cause a wide range of symptoms. Tuberculosis is spread from one person to the next through the air when people who have active TB in their lungs cough, spit, speak, or sneeze. People with Latent TB do not spread the disease. Active infection occurs more often in people with HIV/AIDS and in those who smoke. Diagnosis of active TB is ba ...

There were 32 of these clinics, to the nearest of which the parents applied. No discrimination was made as to race or creed, and there was no charge for transportation or board.
