Walter Littrell & Dr. David Smith of HealthRIGHT 360
In the late 1960s, as young people flocked to San Francisco, Dr. David Smith responded by opening Haight Ashbury Medical Clinics (HAMC)—the first free medical clinic in the U.S., built on the belief that health care should be a right, not a privilege. Two years later, Walter Littrell founded Walden House in the same neighborhood to support homeless youth facing substance use challenges. Today, Walden House provides mental health and addiction treatment across California, including programs within prisons and reentry services. In 2011, David and Walter combined their missions, merging HAMC and Walden House to create HealthRIGHT 360, a national model for accessible community healthcare. Tune in to hear David and Walter's powerful stories and the impactful work their organizations have done for their communities. Meet Walt Littrell and Dr. David Smith!
