Oil Painting of Dr. Philip Hillkowitz, circa 1940
Abstract
Dr. Philip Hillkowitz was one of the founders of the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS) in 1904 and was president of the JCRS for 44 years until his death in 1948. The JCRS was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients that was founded in 1904 by a group of immigrant Jewish workingmen along with the support of several leading physicians and rabbis in Denver, Colorado. The sanatorium was located on West Colfax Avenue just outside of Denver. In... 1954 the institution changed its mission to cancer research and became the American Medical Center (AMC Cancer Research Center). The oil painting, signed by C.J. Fox, has a gold-leaf frame.
