But at the onset of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s, the disease was considered a death sentence. No one was sure \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp038194\">what caused it\u003c/a> or how it was spread. Some doctors and nurses refused to treat patients with the disease; others protected themselves by wearing full body suits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://hab.hrsa.gov/livinghistory/voices/morrison.htm\">Cliff Morrison\u003c/a>, a nurse at San Francisco General Hospital at the time, remembers being appalled by what he was seeing: \"I would go in patients' rooms and you could tell that they hadn't had a bath,\" he says. \"They weren't being taken care of.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1983, Morrison organized a team of healthcare providers to open Ward 5B, an in-patient AIDS special care unit at San Francisco General Hospital. The medical team on the unit encouraged patients to make their rooms like home, and allowed families and partners to visit whenever they could. They comforted patients by touching them, and would even sneak in pets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5B was the first unit of its kind in the nation—and it became a model for AIDS treatment, both in the U.

Still, Volberding describes his time there as a \"blessing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The care that patients were getting was really special and very different than the rest of the hospital,\" he says. \"It was always a complete privilege to do this work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morrison adds, \"I had some really wonderful experiences with people in their passing, and they taught me a great deal.

And everybody around us was saying, \"Oh you're just being cavalier. This is really not what you should be doing, and you're giving the wrong message.\" And our response always was, \"We're giving the right message.\" So we were dealing with a lot of hysteria and misinformation and just outright discrimination, I think, very early on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On expanding the hospital's family and visitors' policy for Ward 5B\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Morrison:\u003c/strong> We also noticed right away ... that we needed to really look at issues around family and visitation, because healthcare was very rigid and was really stuck on this whole idea [regarding] visiting hours that it could only be immediate family. Most of our patients didn't have family around. ... We almost immediately began talking about, in all of these regular meetings and sessions that we had, that maybe we needed to start letting our patients tell us who their family was, and that we needed to kind of move away from this whole idea of traditional family and biological family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Volberding:\u003c/strong> I think that the patients were so sick—and they were so in need of support — that the idea of visiting hours and keeping people away didn't make sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Morrison: \u003c/strong>There were times when they were alone in their rooms and they always needed something.

Even in San Francisco—which, even at that time was considered the gay mecca—gay people had very established careers and homes and families, and yet all of that started coming apart. And it really was centered around homophobia. There were people in the hospital that should have known better. ... There was a group of nurses that basically said that what we were doing was crazy and that we were putting all of them at risk.

The effort since '96 has been to take those potent drugs and make them less toxic and more convenient.

But at the onset of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s, the disease was considered a death sentence. No one was sure \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp038194\">what caused it\u003c/a> or how it was spread.

The medical team on the unit encouraged patients to make their rooms like home, and allowed families and partners to visit whenever they could. They comforted patients by touching them, and would even sneak in pets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5B was the first unit of its kind in the nation—and it became a model for AIDS treatment, both in the U.

I didn't expect to be worried about anything, and wasn't really. But the care that the patients were getting was pretty spotty in the hospital.

And everybody around us was saying, \"Oh you're just being cavalier. This is really not what you should be doing, and you're giving the wrong message.\" And our response always was, \"We're giving the right message.\" So we were dealing with a lot of hysteria and misinformation and just outright discrimination, I think, very early on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On expanding the hospital's family and visitors' policy for Ward 5B\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Morrison:\u003c/strong> We also noticed right away ... that we needed to really look at issues around family and visitation, because healthcare was very rigid and was really stuck on this whole idea [regarding] visiting hours that it could only be immediate family. Most of our patients didn't have family around. ... We almost immediately began talking about, in all of these regular meetings and sessions that we had, that maybe we needed to start letting our patients tell us who their family was, and that we needed to kind of move away from this whole idea of traditional family and biological family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Volberding:\u003c/strong> I think that the patients were so sick—and they were so in need of support — that the idea of visiting hours and keeping people away didn't make sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Morrison: \u003c/strong>There were times when they were alone in their rooms and they always needed something.

Even in San Francisco—which, even at that time was considered the gay mecca—gay people had very established careers and homes and families, and yet all of that started coming apart. And it really was centered around homophobia. There were people in the hospital that should have known better. ... There was a group of nurses that basically said that what we were doing was crazy and that we were putting all of them at risk. It went before the labor board—but that was all homophobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the evolution of AIDS treatment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Volberding:\u003c/strong> In 1987 we began to have some drugs that were doing something. ...

We could suddenly start seeing some of our patients actually get better—not just die more slowly, but actually get better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some of those people are still alive today. The effort since '96 has been to take those potent drugs and make them less toxic and more convenient. Today, we treat this very typically with what we call \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4296592/\">single tab regimens\u003c/a>—one pill taken once a day that contains two, three or even four drugs—all in the same pill. Many of my patients don't have any side effects at all from the medicines they're taking.

This was the life story of the legendary Ms. Sally Stanford, who conquered hardship and a third-grade education with a winning combination of sass and street smarts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in 1903 (with the name Mabel Busby) in Baker County, Oregon, the second of five children, Stanford’s wild spirit showed itself early. She eloped at the age of 16 and ran straight into a life of crime, immediately landing herself in prison for cashing checks that her husband had stolen. During her two-year sentence, she learned the art of bootlegging from fellow prisoners. After her release, she headed to Ventura to open a speakeasy. Once she’d saved enough money, a 21-year-old Stanford made the move to San Francisco, and immediately opened a brothel at 693 O’Farrell St. in the Tenderloin. “Madaming is the sort of thing that happens to you,” Stanford wrote in her 1966 autobiography, \u003cem>The Lady of the House\u003c/em>. “Like getting a battlefield commission or becoming the dean of women at Stanford University.” [aside postid=arts_13902628]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford’s dazzling confidence, wit, and steadfast ability to keep secrets quickly made her an infamous figure in the city. She was arrested repeatedly, but charges against her rarely stuck — in part because of her friends in high places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The politics of the town were dominated by Mayor Jimmy Rolph,” she wrote in her memoir. “He was a doll, a political dreamboat … Not only did Jimmy do OK, but the rest of us did pretty well too. For if there ever was a live-and-let-live type, it was Mayor Rolph.” She continued: “At this point [in the 1920s], it was easier to come by professional female company in San Francisco than it was to catch a rash in a leper colony.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the early 1930s, Stanford had opened a second bordello in the Tenderloin, this one at 610 Leavenworth. She made such a success of her first two establishments that, by the end of the decade, she had opened four more: 837 Geary, 1526 Franklin, 929 Bush and 1224 Stockton in Chinatown. The madam had no problem finding women who wanted to work for her either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Starving jobless dames?

For their efforts I gave them 60 percent of the take … They were a lovely set of girls and they contributed quite a bit to the success of the place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_103910\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 201px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103910\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-30-at-2.06.39-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-30-at-2.06.39-PM.png 201w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-30-at-2.06.39-PM-160x298.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A matchbook from Sally Stanford’s Valhalla\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n 1949, increasingly harassed by local police and then-\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Stanford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">District Attorney, Pat Brown\u003c/a>, Stanford moved to Sausalito and opened a restaurant, appropriately titled Valhalla.

A momentous \u003ca href=\"https://outlet.historicimages.com/products/rse47823\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1970 press photo\u003c/a> captures just how far her reputation had come in two decades in Sausalito. The caption reads: “Sally Stanford, nails up sign boosting her candidacy… in this upper middle class… suburb.

After her decision to retire in 1980, in a beautiful gesture, the council insisted on naming her “\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/1982/02/02/obituaries/sally-stanford-madam-who-became-a-mayor.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vice Mayor For Life.\u003c/a>” [aside postid=arts_13894842]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, there was nothing dull about the life of Sally Stanford. She was married five times and adopted two children, John Owen and Hara “Sharon” Owen, along the way. Stanford had multiple different aliases, lived according to her own moral and social codes and wrote daringly and openly about the secret lives of men.

She eloped at the age of 16 and ran straight into a life of crime, immediately landing herself in prison for cashing checks that her husband had stolen. During her two-year sentence, she learned the art of bootlegging from fellow prisoners. After her release, she headed to Ventura to open a speakeasy. Once she’d saved enough money, a 21-year-old Stanford made the move to San Francisco, and immediately opened a brothel at 693 O’Farrell St. in the Tenderloin. “Madaming is the sort of thing that happens to you,” Stanford wrote in her 1966 autobiography, \u003cem>The Lady of the House\u003c/em>. “Like getting a battlefield commission or becoming the dean of women at Stanford University.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13902628","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford’s dazzling confidence, wit, and steadfast ability to keep secrets quickly made her an infamous figure in the city.

Brinker began making and delivering meals to seven others in her vicinity who were too sick to get to a grocery store, or even cook at all. As word spread about her good deeds, it became apparent that demand for the service was too great for Brinker to handle alone. \u003ca href=\"https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Ruth_Brinker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thanks to a $2000 grant and some donated kitchen equipment\u003c/a>, she put out a call for volunteers and set up \u003ca href=\"https://www.openhand.org/\">Project Open Hand\u003c/a>, the first ever non-profit to provide food and nutritional information to people living with HIV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brinker had moved to the city from Hartford, South Dakota at the age of 33. Two years later, she married her husband, Jack, with whom she had two daughters. The Brinkers owned and ran an antique store, but by the mid-1970s, Ruth was managing a Meals on Wheels center. That led to a later position as director for a homeless food program at Trinity Church.

In 1989, POH expanded to also serve Alameda County.

By 2000, Project Open Hand was also serving seniors \u003ca href=\"http://www.noevalleyvoice.com/2006/February/060Ruth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in over 20 San Francisco locations\u003c/a>, and people with all manner of debilitating diseases (cancer and heart disease included).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Project Open Hand is still thriving, providing an astonishing 2,600 meals and 200 bags of groceries per day, seven days a week, thanks to the tireless efforts of 110 staff members, and the 125 dedicated volunteers that show up daily.
