Georgia Tuberculosis Sanatorium History and Funding Fight
The State Sanatorium near Alto, Georgia, opened by 1927 after years of planning and funding battles. It sits on about 300 acres with infirmary facilities, eight patient shacks, barns, and a cottage repurposed for sanatorium use. The Raoul Foundation handed control to the State Board of Health in 1918, with Dr. E. W. Glidden guiding operations. Funding arose through cigar and cigarette taxes after legislative efforts in 1920 and 1923, with completion delayed until funds become available for maintenance.
