Sunmount Veterans Affairs Hospital for Tuberculosis
The facility opened in 1924 under the title of Sunmount Veterans Administration Hospital and was created to treat veterans with TB following the surge in TB cases among WWI veterans, who had previously stayed at private cure cottages in Saranac Lake. As a consequence, Sunmount boosted Tupper Lake’s economy, but took away from Saranac’s cure industry. Sunmount closed as a TB hospital in 1965, but reopened as a facility for people with developmental disabilities, now called Sunmount Developmental Center. It is an immediate care facility for the mentally retarded. It is a private – nonprofit facility that has been a Medicade participant since 1975.
2445 NY-30, Tupper Lake, New York
