Abstract
The recording presents a narrated historical account focused on La Clínica, the Cuban Club clinic located on the first floor of El Círculo Cubano de Tampa. The narration documents the clinic’s role within the Cuban Club’s mutual aid system, including contracted medical services, discounted pharmacy access, house calls by physicians, and the collection of weekly dues to support member healthcare. The account situates the clinic within Ybor City’s broader network of ethnic mutual aid societies and nearby hospitals and clinics that provided medical care to cigar workers and their families.
