The Infirmary was the site of the first successful sulphone drug treatments for Hansen's disease.

This painting was one of over 70 funded by Abbott Laboratory, the drug company who produced the oral form of the anti-leprosy drug in the late 1940's.

Two of the original "Abbott Lab Paintings" hang in the museum.
