*A Note on Language
We honor the experiences of participants with lived/living experience by not changing the language people used in these videos. However, some of the videos contain language that can perpetuate stigma toward people with substance use disorders. As healthcare workers, we should use person-first language to reduce stigma and bias. Not doing so leads to worse outcomes and experiences. Please review this NIDA page on person-first language for preferred terms to use when communicating both verbally and in charts.
The SF General way means seeing a need and meeting that need.
SF General provides evidence-based, high-quality addiction care to our community. This commitment to serving the most vulnerable draws our healthcare workers to ZSFG. The SF General Way is a commitment to equitable, whole-person care that meets patients where they are by investing in new models of care like the Addiction Care Team to better serve our patients.
