Eleanor Roosevelt visited the City of Hope hospital in Southern California in January 1950. You can read her newspaper column about it
here. It's ironic that City of Hope became the major local treatment center for aplastic anemia, which claimed Mrs. Roosevelt's life in 1962.
When my wife had her ATG treatment for aplastic anemia at City of Hope, we noticed the portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt on the wall and read about her visit so many years before.
