EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the infirmary of the Nyssa farm family labor camp in Malheur County, Oregon during the year 1939. The image was taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during the Great Depression era. The photo showcases a mobile unit set up at the opening of the beet campaign, serving as a vital healthcare facility for the struggling families residing in this FSA camp. A sign prominently displayed on its exterior reads "Infirmary - Office Hours: 9am-12M - 1pm-5pm" emphasizing its importance as a place where medical care is provided to those who need it most. Lange's composition highlights both the physical structure of this makeshift clinic and its location within a rural setting. It serves as a poignant reminder of how government intervention was necessary to provide essential services like healthcare during times of economic hardship. Through her lens, Lange captures not only an important historical moment but also conveys empathy towards those affected by poverty and illness. This photograph stands as a testament to Lange's ability to document human suffering while simultaneously advocating for social change. Today, this image from Heritage Images continues to serve as a visual representation of America's past struggles with economic recession and inequality, reminding us that access to healthcare is an essential right that should be available to all members of society.
