Dr. George Wilson was medical director at Will Rogers Hospital


Adirondack Daily Enterprise, May 1934 (from a Howard Riley piece dated September 10, 2016)

Patients at the National Variety Artist’s sanatorium consider themselves greatly benefitted from the change in the NVA executive board which occurred about two months ago. At that time, according to the information given out today at the sanatorium, Warner Bros., and Metro Goldwyn-Mayer acquired the controlling power on the board. Working together, these two major movie concerns have instituted several new policies, which, in the opinion of the patients, mean a great deal, not only to those who are living at the san, but also to the people of Saranac Lake.

At the present time, Herman Levine, of the New York City NVA association headquarters, is in charge of the sanatorium. However, a petition signed by the 47 patients at the NVA has been sent to Harold Rodner, of Warner Bros., requesting that Dr. George Wilson, attending physician, be appointed to the position of medical superintendent. It is planned also to have a social director, and it is understood that Mrs. William Morris of Camp Intermission has been offered the position.
