San Francisco's historic Chinese Hospital turns 125

Very cool story.

I remember going there when my grandfather was sick. Everyone was so nice and helpful.

My grandmother and mother and aunties and uncles went here. So wonderful to hear the history and grateful that it is in the heart of chinatown and easily accessible to the abundant elderly who cant drive and live around there. Love this history lesson... thank you!!

Never new it existed and have lived here since the 70's. Makes sense since the medical system is sadly racist😢

OMG strange. Hearing about this hospital for the first time in my entire life.haven't heard of this hospital. Wondering how China is deeprooted in US. Also happy to hear they prevented the bubonic plague. A handful of people who took courage, strength, motivation to cut and clear make way thru the thorns and thistles of American hegemony and hold on a century for their voices to be heard after 100 years. May the hospital and the people who worked for it's sucess their names be written in GOLD. GOD BLESS

I was born in the old building of the hospital seen at 2:20. It has been replaced by a new building at 0:44.

Chinese Hospital is the sole remaining independent hospital in San Francisco. All of these hospitals in the city have either shuttered or acquired by corporation: Franklin (later Davies, acquired by Sutter Health) French (acquired by Kaiser Permanente) Dante Sanatarium (closed) Park Sanitarium (closed) St. Mary's (acquired by Dignity Health, sold to UCSF) Southern Pacific (became Harkness which later closed, now a senior living facility) St. Francis (acquired by Dignity Health, sold to UCSF) Letterman (closed) St. Luke's (acquired by Sutter Health) Mary's Help (closed) Shriners (now a senior living facility) Children's (acquired by Sutter Health) St. Joseph's (closed) Public Health Service Hospital (closed) Mt. Zion (acquired by UCSF) Garden Sullivan (closed)

The new hospital is ok. They serve the area (mostly Asian) good for them.

I didn't know a building could be part of a race? Interesting slant
