Waverly Hills Sanatorium is a former sanatorium located in Louisville, Kentucky. This sanatorium was opened in 1910 in purpose to heal tuberculosis which was spreading fastly back then.

Because tuberculosis was a dreadful disease and there was no special cure for this disease, the mortality rate of this hospital increased rapidly. By 1925 the mortality rate went so high that a patient was dying every hour in this sanatorium.
