SAN FRANCISCANS CANNOT AND WILL NOT PERMIT - THE SF BOARD OF SUPERVISORS - FAIL US TO KEEP LAGUNA HONDA HOSPITAL OPEN - THE PEOPLES' HOSPITAL - FEDERALLY FUNDED - ADDICTS DUMPED IN THE MIDST OF OUR BELOVED ELDERS.




The land belonged to Jose De Noe - some 87 acres - the last alcade of San Francisco - when it belonged to Mexico. Much like the SF General Hospital built to care for San Franciscans - the Almshouse was created for the needy. Blessed are the poor - for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.


In recent years the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has failed us - miserably.

The San Francisco Laguna Honda Hospital - known for its skilled nursing abilities - is the only publicly funded -publicly owned skilled nursing facility in the United States of America.

In 1930 - SF Mayor James Rolph helped build the Hospital with a Revival Design - known as Univesity of California Medical School  - caring for the neediest.

In 1963 Laguna Honda Hospital was accredited as a skilled nursing facility.




This was the Revival Design - seen today - alongside the current state-of-the-art building. The old Laguna Honda is not in operation. Current operations - take place in the brand new Hospital. Laguna Hospital - a skilled nursing hospital caring for our Elders - all over the United States.


Some fifteen years ago - the SF General Hospital - took it upon itself, without any public hearing and comment - to move chronic addicts - using Heroin, Meth, Fenathoyl - and other drugs - to Laguna Honda Hospital.

Our SF Board of Supervisors, our SF City Administrator, our SF Controller, our SF City Attorney, and the Directors of the SF Health Department - saw this transfer and knew what they were doing.

With intent - to save the SF General Fund - the crooks above dumped addicts to live and created hell - adversely impacting our beloved Elders. Those above have BLOOD on their hands.

It does not help that the current Mayor London Breed - a heifer - the SF City officials - those funding the many Non-Profit - working with the homeless - addicts - fail to understand the situation.

The once known Almshouse - is now known as - Laguna Honda Hospital.

Laguna Honda hospital - was never meant to treat " chronic adult addicts under 45 years - many of them violent. "




Patrick Monette-Shaw - and advocate - others - have spelled it out in detail - the ploys, machinations, and shenanigans going on at Laguna Honda Hospital.


In San Francisco, we are lucky to have astute and experienced advocates with institutional knowledge who have spoken truth to power about all the nonsense going on at Laguna Honda Hospital. 

Former Directors of SF General Hospital Barbara Gracia, Thomas Aragon, and the current idiot Dr. Grant Colfax - have no clue the harm they are doing to San Francisco.

The current Mayor, London Breed for all her talk - knew what was going on at Laguna Honda Hospital - her own mother was a patient.

The federal government spends over $500 thousand a month - to help operate and maintain a high standard at Laguna Honda Hospital.

The federal government has inspectors who will issue Notice of Violations - stating the failures - that when they happen - Notice of Violations are given.

It is mandatory that the discrepancies are corrected - for some reason, this was not done - again and again - thus the current situation we are in.

Two doctors took it upon themselves to correct the blatant corruption at Laguna Honda Hospital - Doctors Maria Revero and Derek Kerr.

I was present and spoke at the SF Health Commission - to no avail - Dr. Derek Kerr took Laguna Honda authorities to court and won his case.

The SF Board of Supervisors, the SF Controller, the SF Mayors going 20 years ago - the SF City Administrators - the SF City Attorneys all failed.

With intent, each of the entities mentioned above - defrauded the Federal Government. 

Each of them decided it was acceptable to adversely impact our beloved Elders - sent to a skilled nursing facility - to pass their last days -in solace.

Our gratitude as the public - for the service and the contribution to our City and County of San Francisco -  a facility created some 150 years old - to cater to the most - vulnerable.




This is the brand new building that Laguna Honda Hospital operates - the hospital has some hard-working - skilled nurses - the patients love the nurses and doctors.

It is a crying shame - we expect our Elders to enjoy their last days - before they pass the other side.

It is simply wrong to allow drug addicts - more men under 50 years old - addicts who are violent - to prey on the Elders. 

Many Elders are traumatized and this nonsense has been going on since 2009.

We, advocates, are monitoring the situation - we will not allow the evictions to go on - without a fight.
