Ward 5B: Nurses Who Defied Convention to Establish a New Standard of Care for HIV/AIDS Patients
At the heart of the HIV/AIDs crisis and widespread hysteria, a single number and letter designated a ward on the fifth floor of San Francisco General Hospital, the first in the country designed specifically to care for AIDS patients. The critically acclaimed documentary 5B tells the inspirational story of the courageous nurses and caregivers who took extraordinary action to establish a new standard of care for the patients of 5B. 5B was proudly commissioned by Johnson & Johnson as part of their long-standing commitment to supporting nurses on the front line of healthcare. Following the film screening, stay for an inspiring Q&A session. Join us, as together, we celebrate the essential contributions of nurses whose innovation and leadership immeasurably changed lives during the onset of the AIDS crisis.
