Background

Scope and content:

Correspondence, bylaws, reports, contractual agreements, newsletters, memoranda, financial documents, evaluation form, articles of incorporation, and mailing lists from the San Francisco-based National Free Clinic Council (NFCC), 1970-1974. The bulk of the collection documents NFCC interactions with the Gay Community Services Center (a participating clinic) in Los Angeles, 1972-1974.

Biographical / historical:

Founded in 1972 in San Francisco, and guided by the principle that "health care is a right, not a privilege," the NFCC coordinated the disbursement of Federal grants to a nationwide urban network of free community clinics serving underprivileged clients. Treatment for drug abuse, at the time a practice not widely studied by the medical profession, was a particular focus for many of these clinics.
