The Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, now part of a larger network, still operates out of a second-floor office overlooking Haight Street in San Francisco, and it still helps people on the fringes of society.
Carrie Feibel of San Francisco's KQED filed this radio story for NPR and KHN on the history of the clinic.
