All the immigrants were first taken to Ellis Island. The Immigration station was a group of 12 building by the shore of New York City. Some of the buildings there were a receiving station, a hospital, a record storage office, and a kitchen building. The station opened in 1892 to process many of the Europeans who were entering the country. When they first arrived they all were checked by a medical examiners. They looked for any signs of illness. They looked for skin rashes, coughing or limping, that might show signs of sickness or weakness because they did not want them spreading diseases to Americans. Many of them who were sick were not allowed to enter New York City, the doctors would mark their coats with chalk if they failed the exam. Many of the sick immigrants were taken to the hospital on Ellis Island and were treated if the did not recover in a matter of months many of them were sent back to their homeland.
