EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the infirmary at Nyssa FSA farm family labor camp in Malheur County, Oregon, during the year 1939. Taken by acclaimed photographer Dorothea Lange, known for her powerful images depicting the struggles of American life during the Great Depression, this print showcases a mobile unit stationed at the opening of the beet campaign. The sign prominently displayed reads "Infirmary - Office Hours - 9am-12M - 1pm-5pm" indicating that this facility provided crucial healthcare services to the residents of the camp. In an era marked by economic hardship and limited access to medical care, such facilities played a vital role in ensuring basic healthcare needs were met. Lange's composition skillfully captures both the exterior of this makeshift clinic and its surroundings. The dilapidated caravan stands as a symbol of resilience amidst adversity while also highlighting how basic resources were utilized creatively to address pressing social issues. Through her lens, Lange not only documented historical moments but also shed light on societal challenges faced by marginalized communities. This photograph serves as a visual testament to government initiatives like Farm Security Administration (FSA) camps aimed at providing support and assistance during times of crisis. Preserved within this image is not just a snapshot from history but also an enduring reminder of our collective responsibility towards ensuring equitable access to healthcare for all members of society.
