Overview

Patients taught many lessons to Dr. Radebaugh, a graduate of Harvard Medical School. He listened carefully, treated patients with respect, and was always available for house calls. He spent three years with Cesar Chavez, whose nonviolent efforts to organize farm workers, along with the grape boycott, attracted many supporters of justice for exploited workers. Humor and pathos summarize the career of a compassionate physician, dedicated to serving the poor.

Author Information

Dr. John Radebaugh was on the faculty at University of Rochester School of Medicine, Stanford Medical School, and Dartmouth Medical School. His work with Cesar Chavez volunteering for the United Farm Workers Union in California led him to be inducted into the Farm Worker Advocate Hall of Fame in 1999. Dr. Radebaugh's compassion, ever present harmonica, and belief in the value of house calls distinguished him from other physicians and created a legacy of service that continues to this day. In 1991 the John F. Radebaugh Community Service award was established in his honor, and is given to a graduate of Dartmouth Medical School each year.
