In 1972, a twenty-year-old college dropout had the radical idea to open a free clinic in his New England hometown. Without money or training, but raising the banner that "healthcare is a right and not a privilege," Mark Masselli faced down opposition from the local hospital and City Hall. As he established Community Health Center, Inc., he found partners in a faith leader, a nurse practitioner, and a future U.S. senator; joined forces with Wesleyan University students and neighborhood activists; and was inspired by the Dalai Lama and healthcare reformers around the world. Today, Community Health Center, with its Weitzman Institute and national "Conversations on Healthcare" podcast, is regarded as one of the most innovative health centers in the country and has a presence in all 50 states.

The story of how the work of one small group of people grew to meet the size of their calling: to ensure that Health Care is a Right, Not a Privilege. Peace & Health is the story behind this improbable effort: the 20-year-old who plants the flag in his small hometown of Middletown, Connecticut; the daughter of a sharecropper, who made her way north during the great migration and becomes the North Star of the drive to transform health in the community; the son of a Jewish émigré and pharmacist who breaks from his peers to support the cause; the musician who played in the big bands of the South in the 1930's, who loses his teeth and is now determined to make sure others do not lose theirs; and the college student and future US Senator who helps buy the building so the free clinic would not be shut down permanently. A young nurse-practitioner joins the organization as it expands beyond one Connecticut town, and today, CHC and its Weitzman Institute operate programs across the US, transforming the delivery of health care for populations who have been ignored.
