History

To address the thousands of adolescents and young adults that were streaming into San Francisco for the cultural revolution of the 1960’s, Haight Ashbury Free Clinics (HAFC) opened its doors in 1967 as the first free medical clinic in the country. During the first week of operation over 400 patients were seen. HAFC has been an innovator in delivering primary health care services to many of the people who can least afford them. “Health Care is a Right, Not a Privilege” has been the guiding principle as well as its famous tagline.

Walden House was founded in 1969 in the same Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco to help homeless and runaway adolescents with substance use disorder problems. Today, Walden House treats people with mental health and substance use disorder problems at various residential and outpatient centers throughout California, including in-prison treatment programs, and facilities in San Francisco and Los Angeles, providing drug and alcohol treatment and mental health, vocational and housing services for people transitioning back into their communities. Like HAFC, Walden House has always served people who are uninsured, homeless and socio-economically disenfranchised, including those with HIV/AIDS.

Today

Haight Ashbury Free Clinics and Walden House have both grown over the years, becoming national models for community healthcare, substance use disorder treatment and mental health services. The organizations merged on July 1, 2011 to best serve the most vulnerable members of our community.

On July 1, 2012, Haight Ashbury Free Clinics – Walden House adopted a new name: HealthRIGHT 360.

A Family of Programs

HealthRIGHT 360 is a family of programs that includes Walden House, Haight Ashbury Free Clinics, Asian American Recovery Services, Women's Recovery Association, North County Serenity House, Lyon-Martin Health Services and Rock Medicine. HealthRIGHT 360 gives hope, builds health, and changes lives for people in need by providing comprehensive, integrated, compassionate care that includes primary medical care, mental health services, and substance use disorder treatment. 

HealthRIGHT 360 was created in 2011 as the merger of Haight Ashbury Free Clinics and Walden House, two San Francisco organizations that became national models of community healthcare through over forty years of service. In 2013, Asian American Recovery Services joined the family of programs, and in 2014, Women’s Recovery Association (San Mateo) and North County Serenity House (San Diego) also merged with HealthRIGHT 360. In 2015 Lyon-Martin Health Services and Tenderloin Health Services (formerly Glide Health Services clinic) became the third and fourth primary care clinics operated by HealthRIGHT 360.
