Episode Synopsis

In the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, nurses played a crucial role in caring for patients and forever transformed health care. Cliff Morrison, the nurse who launched the country's first in-patient AIDS unit in 1983, and Carol Dawson-Rose, an early leader in international patient-centered AIDS prevention and care, share their experiences about providing care at the height of the AIDS crisis — and what nurses today should do to be strong advocates.
