Thomas Martorelli's For People, Not for Profit tells the story of
Fenway Health's growth from a small, volunteer-run walk-in clinic
to an international leader into an international leader in care and
research for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
community and people living with HIV/AIDS. It is also the story of
the tremendous societal changes that drove and affected that
growth. The community activism and volunteer collectives of the
1970s; the devastation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic which emerged in
the 1980s; the LGBT civil rights movement that gained strength and
momentum through the 1990s; and the advances in research and
advocacy that have brought so many health care and civil rights
victories in the 2000s - it's all there. At the same time,
Martorelli tells us Fenway's story through the voices of the people
who were and are still a part of this incredible organization -
from the early ups and downs through Fenway's growth into one of
the largest LGBT health organizations in the world.
