A Courageous Story of Nurses and Caregivers

On May 7, 2021, Strategic Partnerships hosted a special screening of the award-winning documentary 5B, the inspirational story of the courageous nurses and caregivers who took extraordinary steps to provide unprecedented care for patients of the first AIDS ward in the United States at San Francisco General Hospital.

5B is told through first-person testimony of the nurses and caregivers who built Ward 5B in 1983, their patients, loved ones, and staff who volunteered to create care practices based in humanity and holistic well-being during a time of great uncertainty.

Please note, the event recording video does not include the 5B documentary film.
