The Oakdale Tuberculosis Sanatorium near Iowa City opened in 1908 as a self-sufficient, open-air complex with rooftop sundecks and an electric railway bringing patients for fresh air and rest. Dr. George Bedell labeled the era as hocus-pocus as many patients died despite these measures. In the 1920s open air care declined in favor of chest surgery, with about three quarters of incoming patients undergoing operations, and many perishing afterward.
The 1951 advent of streptomycin shifted TB care from surgery to drug therapy with improved survival. By 1965 Oakdale TB facility closed after serving about 400 patients yearly, with treatment shifted to University Hospitals patient outpatients. Bedell notes rising spread pre 1900 and warns of drug resistant TB requiring isolation.
