We also wish to acknowledge the staff and people who were treated in all the hospitals on this site, both the past soldiers and patients of the tuberculosis and lunacy/mental health hospitals; the doctors and staff at the hospitals for their often ground-breaking discoveries which improved the lives of their patients and other patients around the world.
