From the late 19th century until 1940 tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the United States. Many people suffering from the disease came to the high desert mountains of New Mexico in search of a cure. There were sanatoriums throughout the region that cared for the tuberculars. In the northeastern part of Santa Fe, Sunmount Sanitarium, was nestled up to the Sangre de Cristo mountains where the Immaculate Heart of Mary Retreat and Conference Center is located today.
Sunmount Santiarium began as a group of tent houses and small cottages in 1880. Dr. Frank Meara and is wife built a hospital where the Santa Maria building at the retreat center is located today to care for the “lungers,” as they were called back then. Prior to the advent of antibiotics, which destroyed the bacterial infection of the lungs, the primary treatment for the sick was pristine air, sunshine, low humidity and pollution and the high altitude of northern New Mexico.
Many people that came west seeking treatment of the disease decided to stay once they were cured and contributed greatly to the vitality of Santa Fe and the state of New Mexico. They included the artist Carlos Vierra who advocated for the Pueblo Revival of architecture that has become synonymous with Santa Fe’s unique landscape. The architect John Gaw Meem who contracted tuberculosis while working on the New York City subway system. Many of the building he designed include Cristo Rey church. Will Shuster, the artist who created Zozobra and the Rodeo de Santa Fe bull suffered mustard gas poisoning during World War I that weakened his lungs. New Mexico U.S. Senators Clinton P. Anderson and Bronson Cutting who was the former owner of the New Mexican. Carrie Tingley, the wife of New Mexico governor Clyde Tingley, for whom Tingley Hospital in Albuquerque is named. And Dr. William Randolph Lovelace whose name graces one of the major hospitals in the state caring for people with all types of ailments including tuberculosis.
