Columbus TB care shifted to hospitals
In Columbus, tuberculosis care evolved from hospital confinement in the early 20th century to broader disease control efforts. A dedicated TB hospital was established in 1909, with a specialized facility completed in 1937, serving many patients who faced lengthy stays and strict hospitalization laws. By the 1970s, improved treatments led to the hospital’s closure, and TB cases in the U.S. decreased until recent increases following the COVID pandemic, before declining again in 2025.
