About The Chicano Boom: Healing California 1965-1985:

The Chicano Boom makes visible the leaders and accomplishments of the Chicano Health Movement. 

You'll read that the leaders dreamed of a different type of health care system that had not existed before: a system of care that empowered communities. 

And you'll see how this movement was built in a time of urgency.

The Chicano Health Movement established hundreds of community clinics that provide affordable, culturally appropriate health care system tailored to California's Chicano and Latino communities. 

Peppered with historical context and painting the context that paved the way for three new generations of health care professionals and activists, The Chicano Boom is the product of nearly 200 interviews with Chicano and Latino activists and leaders.
