Holiday Farm Home for Convalescent Children near Rhinebeck New York, founded by Miss Morton and backed by Vincent Astor, cares for ill children until full recovery. The 85 mile distance from New York, 12 swings, a brook and open play spaces foster steady health gains. Last year 586 children were cared for with 506 recovering, 29 improved, 42 still there, and 9 not improving. The home accepts patients from several New York hospitals and emphasizes nutrition, light, air, and low rules to support recovery.
