Valentine, William E Bill

I was a co-worker of Bill's at CPMC.

When I was hired at the inpatient psychiatry unit at CPMC, on 2323 Sacramento Street, in late 1980, there were three openly gay men managing the unit: Bill, the social work director, Patrick Buchanan, the medical director, and Alex Anagnos, the nursing manager. All of them have obituaries in this obituary database. Working on Unit 23 (adult psychiatry) and Unit 23C (geriatric psychiatry) was the most gay-supportive work environment I experienced in over 40 years of employment, in many different professions and settings. I owe the three of them so much!
