[HAFCI] is to increase access to health care for all and improve the health and well-being of our clients. More than 65,000 individuals and their loved ones depend on the Clinics every year to provide free, high-quality, demystified and comprehensive health care that is culturally sensitive, nonjudgmental and accessible to all in need. During the social revolution of the 1960s, the Haight Street Free Clinic was established to help the thousands of young people on the street in the Haight Ashbury district whose lives were affected by drug and alcohol abuse, mental and physical problems. With nowhere to turn, they found treatment and support when traditional services turned their backs on them. Since then, the Clinics have grown to become one of the largest multi-service providers in Northern California. HAMC's ethnically diverse clientele is largely composed of impoverished, uninsured, homeless or HIV-positive residents of the San Francisco area. Local volunteers are needed to treat patients pro bono in their own offices or at the Haight Ashbury Medical Clinic. Since the mid-1980's, the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic has provided free, comprehensive primary medical care and related services every year to approximately 150 uninsured, low-income San Franciscans living with HIV disease. The Free Clinic's HIV Care Services Program offers a holistic approach to care that addresses many of our clients' physical and psycho-social needs on-site. Each client is matched with a staff medical practitioner and a case manager to develop an individualized treatment plan, which may include both traditional and alternative therapies.
