The Haight Ashbury Free Clinics, Inc. is a free health care service provider serving more than 34,000 people in Northern California.[citation needed]

The organization was founded by Dr. David E. Smith in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, California on June 7, 1967, during the counterculture of the 1960s.

The clinics merged in 2011 with Walden House an addiction treatment organization; in 2012 they adopted a new name: HealthRIGHT 360.[2]
