Farmington Hills, a suburb of Detroit, was once home to Sister Kenny Hospital, a treatment center for polio patients. Now the Botsford Senior Living Center, the hospital played a key role in the battle against polio and it\u2019s opening its doors for an exclusive tour of the historic facility on April 23. The tour will include a visit to the redbrick building\u2019s basement, where guests can view the remains of what was once the hospital\u2019s pool, which was where hydrotherapy treatments were administered. Sister Elizabeth Kenny, an Australian nun for whom the hospital was named, was a huge proponent for hydrotherapy for her polio patients. In addition, photos of the hospital from when it was fully operational will be on display courtesy of the Walter Reuther Historical Library collection. Although the open house is free, donations are encouraged and will go toward the Rotarians\u2019 Polio Eradication Fund<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Botsford Senior Living Center is located at 21400 Archwood Circle, off Tuck Road north of Eight Mile Road in Farmington Hills, Michigan.<\/p>\n
