Description:
National Jewish Medical and Research Center is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, immune and allergic disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonsectarian, nonprofit hospital for tuberculosis (TB) patients, National Jewish enters the 21st century as the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. Four years in a row, U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Hospitals" ranked National Jewish number one in the nation for excellence in treating respiratory diseases, and first in reputation among pulmonary specialists. National Jewish was also ranked as one of the three most influential research institutions for immunology and as the number one private immunology research institution in the world. The Tucker Medical Library supports the research, clinical and educational mission of National Jewish.
