From The Indianapolis Times, Thursday, March 9, 1922: Only nine ex-service men are currently tubercular patients at Sunnyside Sanitarium according to the monthly report submitted to the county commissioners by superintendent Dr. Harold Hatch. “The veterans’ bureau is paying us $3 (2020: $47) per day for the maintenance of six of these patients, but few ex-servicemen are under treatment,” Dr. Hatch noted. The county has gone to great expense in erecting two portable houses for veterans at the Sunnyside Tuberculosis Clinic, but the federal veterans’ bureau has several hundred vacant beds available in government hospitals and is unwilling to refer tubercular cases to contract hospitals when treatment at a government hospital is acceptable to the patient. According to the superintendent, a few vacancies are being held open for these patients so any who may be referred can be cared for.
