In 1933, the forerunner to the Spears Hospital was incorporated as the Spears Free Clinic and Hospital for Poor Children. In its peak years, the clinic served 200-300 patients each day. Prior to World War II, Dr. Spears extended the clinic's services to the remote communities with his Spears Traveling Clinic, a converted housetrailer.
Dr. David S. Walther and his father both knew and interacted with Dr. Leo Spears in their early years.
Dr. Spears began the monumental task of building a chiropractic hospital in 1940. He purchased a 15-acre tract of ranch land east of Denver in a tax sale. The first unit, a 236-bed facility dedicated to Dr. Willard Carver, was opened May 1, 1943. A second, larger building with a 364-bed capacity was opened in 1949 and dedicated to D.D. Palmer.
It's been estimated that the Spears Chiropractic Hospital contributed in excess of $5 million in free services over the years. Converting $5 million dollars to today would be over $5 billion dollars."Show more
