UCSF social workers rally for safer work environment after colleague’s fatal stabbing

Thursday’s rally comes three months after UCSF social worker Alberto Rangel died when Wilfredo Tortolero Arriechi, a patient, allegedly stabbed Rangel at the HIV/AIDS clinic in Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital…. The stabbing sparked fears among UCSF staff and social workers, who called for UCSF to implement greater safety measures for staff, establish minimum staffing levels, reduce caseloads for social workers, and provide counseling and additional paid sick leave for workers affected by the tragedy.
