BERKELEY COMMUNITY HEALTH PROJECT

Healthcare for people, not for profit. Since the Clinic opened, there has been an ever-present need for its services. It has become something of an icon in the area, and has served thousands in its 50-year history. We are dedicated to upholding its founding principles to this day: - Health care is a basic human right and should not be linked to profit. - A great deal of health care knowledge can and should be available and accessible to individuals such that they can have the power to recognize and respond to their own health issues. - Health care should be broadly defined and considerate of the whole being and environment, not simply a response to isolated symptoms. - In keeping with the goals of individual empowerment and the building of healthy communities, locally-based organizations should enable worker participation and responsibility. $0 CHARGED FOR CLINIC SERVICES: Fees have never been charged for any services, materials, medications or supplies provided at the Berkeley Free Clinic. 50+ YEARS SERVING THE COMMUNITY: The Berkeley Free Clinic is a radical, do-it-yourself health collective that has been providing dental and medical care, peer counseling, and community referrals since 1969. 13 CLINIC SECTIONS: The Berkeley Free Clinic is made up of 13 sections which each provide distinct services.
