Yes, there was a hospital in Arbovale, WV called the Hospital Run Sanatorium. It was located on Hospital Run Road, which is now Trimble Run Road.
The sanatorium was built in 1912 and was originally called the Arbovale Sanatorium. It was renamed the Hospital Run Sanatorium in 1921. The sanatorium was a tuberculosis sanatorium, which means that it was a hospital for people with tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that can affect the lungs. It is a serious disease that can be fatal. In the early 20th century, tuberculosis was a major health problem in the United States.
The Hospital Run Sanatorium was one of many sanatoriums that were built in the United States to treat tuberculosis. The sanatorium was located in a remote area, which was thought to be beneficial for patients with tuberculosis. The sanatorium also had a number of features that were designed to help patients with tuberculosis, such as fresh air, sunshine, and good food.
The Hospital Run Sanatorium closed in 1955, as the use of antibiotics for treating tuberculosis became more widespread. The sanatorium was demolished in the 1970s.
The site of the Hospital Run Sanatorium is now a private residence. However, the name of the road, Hospital Run Road, still remains as a reminder of the sanatorium that once stood there.
