San Francisco General Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Francisco General Hospital is the main public hospital in San Francisco, California, and the only Level I Trauma Center in the San Francisco. The University of California at San Francisco staffs it with doctors and associated researchers. The hospital, especially its Ward 86, was instrumental in treating and identifying early cases of AIDS. The original brick main building was replaced with a concrete one in the 1960s[citation needed]; four remaining five-story edifices are among the tallest brick buildings in the city. The hospital is located on Potrero Avenue between the Mission District and Potrero Hill; Highway 101 rounds its east side at "Hospital Curve".
