And in these early days of its spread, people can spend days in search of the right diagnosis. Reporter: Jackie Fortier, KPCC San Francisco Supervisors on Tuesday are expected to urge U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra to suspend plans to shut down Laguna Honda Hospital. It's the largest skilled nursing facility in California.  Reporter: Rachael Myrow, KQED L.A.

Laguna Honda Hospital opened up in 1866 to care for the city's poor and indigent. Now over 150 years later, federal officials have threatened to shut the hospital, which operates as a skilled nursing facility, because of failed inspections prompted by two nonfatal drug overdoses that occurred onsite. In order to be recertified to operate, Laguna Honda must move out over 600 of its residents and has until September 13 to make that happen. So far, they have only moved 48 patients. What happened to the hospital and how will these patients be taken care of? We'll discuss the ongoing situation at Laguna Honda and talk about what this situation says about how we care for our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. Guests: Sydney Johnson, public health reporter, San Francisco Examiner. Tony Chicotel, Staff Attorney, California Advocates For Nursing Home Reform. Jessica Lehman, executive director, Senior & Disability Action. Roland Pickens, director of the San Francisco Health Network, a network of 13 clinics in SF, interim CEO of Laguna Honda Hospital, Laguna Honda Hospital.

In part two of our coverage of the pending closure of Laguna Honda Hospital, we hear about the potential impacts of relocating patients - a directive from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to move all patients out of the facility before applying for recertification in the fall. We also hear about concerns regarding the recertification process and additional efforts to correct issues uncovered during the inspections.

Nearly 700 live-in patients at Laguna Honda Hospital are in limbo after the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services announced it would pull federal funding following multiple damning inspection reports. San Francisco Department of Public Health officials are scrambling to regain the certification needed for funding. Meanwhile, two former hospital physicians say they warned city officials about a potential crisis nearly 20 years ago.

More than 700 patients at the San Francisco facility could be displaced as federal officials have threatened to withhold critical funding from the facility after two patient overdoses. Those non-fatal incidents triggered an investigation that found Laguna Honda, which had a patient abuse scandal in 2019, had fallen out of regulatory compliance. Reporter Rachel Swan tells Dominic Fracassa about the hospital's latest trouble, and what the Department of Public Health is doing to keep it open. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Learn more about your ad choices.

San Francisco’s Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God’s hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. People from all demographics came there, and so did this episode's guest: Dr. Victoria Sweet. She intended to visit for just two months yet stayed for twenty years. The hospital gave Sweet the opportunity to learn from extraordinary patients an older idea of medicine that predated her traditional training, one of the body as a garden to be tended, not a machine to be fixed.

Show #183 | Guest: Victoria Sweet | Show Summary: Today, robots can perform surgery, x-rays can be conducted instantaneously, and countless tests, once unimaginable to doctors, can be executed to learn diagnoses often before symptoms are even apparent. This is truly a golden age of technological medical wonders. But at what cost? For all these technological wonders, it can hard to remember that physicians were once craftsman. Victoria Sweet, a physician at Laguna Honda Hospital for over twenty years, wants to fix this. Join Sweet as she sits down with Angie Coiro to share just how much the medical industry has changed over the years. With Slow Medicine, Sweet offers a revelatory personal vision for what a physician can and should be.

Dr. Victoria Sweet, author of God's Hotel: A Doctor, A Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine, joins Evelyne Lambrecht on Elevate Your Energy Radio to talk about her journey as a physician at Laguna Honda Hospital In San Francisco.  We discussed: what her thoughts are on personal vs personalized medicine, what she learned about premodern medicine and how it can be applied now, how slow medicine can be used today, even in hospital settings, the efficiecny of inefficiency, and more.

Dr. Sweet is an associate clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.She practiced medicine for twenty years at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, where she began writing. In her book, God's Hotel: A Doctor,a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine, she lays out her evidence in stories of her patients and her hospital for some radically new ideas about medicine and healthcare in this country. In our attempts to get control of healthcare costs by privileging “efficiency,” she suggests, we've been headed down the wrong path. Medicine works best that is, arrives at the right diagnosis and the right treatment for the least amount of money when it is personal and face-to-face; when the doctor has enough time to do a good job, and pays attention not only to the patient but to what's around the patient. Dr. Sweet calls this approach Slow Medicine.

Visual artist Ann Chamberlain worked in a variety of contexts (ranging from public art and printed books to installations) where she incorporated all kinds of media, including text, photographic imagery and found materials. In her works Chamberlain explored how public spaces and places express the identity, history and experience of the communities they serve. Spark joined Chamberlain as she visited the UCSF Mount Zion Women's Health Center, where she worked with others to replace a barren, concrete courtyard with a lush garden where cancer patients could share their personal stories with others. Wanting to give the patients' stories a more permanent home, Chamberlain decided to take the Healing Garden "inside," and created a 70 foot-long wall of ceramic tablets, each tablet containing the impression of a plant and the story of someone who had dealt with illness. Spark also visited with Chamberlain while she worked on two other collaborations: a memorial to the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (a group of Americans who fought fascism during the Spanish Civil War) and a project for the residents of Laguna Honda Hospital. By relating the narratives of everyday life through public art, Chamberlain created art that not only celebrates ordinary people, but also offers satisfaction and enrichment for the surrounding community.

Host: John J. Russell, MD San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God's Hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. Ballet dancers and rock musicians, professors and thieves - "anyone who had fallen, or, often, leapt, onto hard times" and needed extended medical care - ended up there. Dr. Victoria Sweet ended up there herself, as a physician. And though she came for only a two-month stay, she remained for twenty years. God's Hotel tells the story of a hospital, which - as efficiency experts, politicians, and architects descended, determined to turn it into a modern "health care facility" - revealed its truths about the cost and value of caring for body and soul.

"We act as if there is one definition of good end of life care. And I would argue there is no one definition. In the end, it¹s going to be many definitions."

On this edition, producer Claire Schoen looks at how miscommunication, stereotyping and racism influence health care for people of color as they approach death.
