In addition to mental illness, the hospital had to treat the physical health of its residents; tuberculosis presented a unique challenge to the staff, budget, and physical plant. In 1904, the disease accounted for nearly 25% of all patient deaths. In 1905, the General Assembly appropriated $35,000 to construct a tubercular unit to quarantine and treat patients-it was named for Governor Herbert S. Hadley.
