Abstract:

Subject files of the San Francisco Chapter of MCHR, an organization dedicated to providing quality health care in the community. The records reveal the Committee's interest in free clinics; community control of health institutions; drug abuse programs; occupational safety and health; and the health needs of women, prisoners, and minorities. MCHR has also been active in anti-Vietnam war work and in promotion of a national health care plan. The subject files consist of printed material and newspaper clippings, but few organizational records are present.
