The Haight Ashbury Free Clinics, Inc. is a free health care service provider serving more than 34,000 people in Northern California.
Overview
The organization was founded by Dr. David E. Smith in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, California on June 7, 1967, during the counterculture of the 1960s. As thousands of youth arrived in the city, many were in need of substance abuse treatment, mental health service, and medical attention. The clinic became the model for the modern form of the free clinic. The Clinics are currently composed of four core programs:[1]
- Medical clinics
- Substance abuse treatment services
- Jail psychiatric services
- Rock medicine: on-site medical services for public events and concerts
- Treasure Island Job Corp Wellness Center
The clinics recently merged with Walden House an addiction treatment organization to form Healthright 360.
