Abstract
The success of a walk-in clinic in providing care without regard to social and diagnostic factors is measured in a study of 391 patients. Results indicate that acceptance or nonacceptance into the clinic system were unrelated to social class or diagnosis, although these factors did influence referrals to specific clinic resources.Keywords
