The Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS) was a non-sectarian sanatorium to treat tuberculosis patients in Lakewood, Colorado.

Today, most of the original JCRS campus buildings are occupied by Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, which purchased the property in 2002.

[5] When the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS) opened its doors in September 1904, it had only seven patients housed in white wooden "Tucker" tents.

[6] Since 1980, the campus has been on the National Register of Historic Places,[7] though the original application does have several factual errors, such as confusing the 1926 synagogue with its 1911 predecessor.

[9] Spivak was a political refugee from Russia (modern-day Ukraine) who attended medical school in Philadelphia before moving to Denver, Colorado.

In its history as a sanatorium, the JCRS hospital also became known as a center of Yiddish poetry and many of the patients were or became well-known literary figures, including Yehoash,[11] Lune Mattes,[12] H. Leivick,[11] and Shea Tenenbaum.
