Biographical Information
Philip Randolph Lee was born in California in 1924, the third son of Dr. Russel Van Arsdale Lee, founder of the renowned Palo
Alto Clinic. Eventually all five of the Lee children became physicians and practiced in California. Phil Lee graduated from
Stanford and earned his M.D. there in 1948. He then volunteered for Navy Medical service and was in active sea duty in the
Inchon Invasion. After his Korean War service, he completed postdoctoral training at Howard Rusk's Institute for Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation in New York, and also completed a research degree, (M.S.,1955) at the University of Minnesota
on a Mayo Clinic fellowship.
In 1963 he was recruited by Dr. Leona Baumgartner to serve in Washington D.C. as Director of Health Services for the U.S.
State Department's Agency for International Development(AID) where he worked on malaria eradication, nutrition, and family
planning. After two years at AID he planned to return to practice at the Palo Alto Clinic, but he was called to serve in the
Johnson administrations and was appointed Assistant Secretary for Health and Scientific Affairs in John Gardner's Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW). Characterized by the contemporary press as "the doctor's doctor in Washington,"
he worked to implement Medicare, chaired the task force on prescription drugs, and developed health manpower and family planning
policies. He left federal service soon after Nixon took office, and in February 1969 he agreed to become third Chancellor
of UCSF, in the midst of national and local political turbulence over civil rights and the Vietnam War.
Philip Lee brought his reformer's perspective to his administration at UCSF, and worked to implement an affirmative action
policy, and organize the basic sciences into a "fifth school," a plan that met defeat at the hands of the Reagan governorship.
In 1972, after three years as chancellor, he resigned and began immediately to organize an innovative Health Policy Program
at UCSF. Dr. Lee's Washington contacts and his proven expertise in health policy were assets to the new program, which received
substantial extramural grant support, and soon developed into a National Health Services Policy Analysis Center funded by
DHEW. By 1981 the program was officially designated a University of California Organized Research Unit and was named the UCSF
Institute for Health Policy Studies (IHPS). The IHPS continued to produce cutting-edge health services research in such areas
as determinants of health, medical technology and health care costs, prescription drugs, health manpower, and ethical issues
in health care, and IHPS faculty provided expert assistance to federal and state agencies as well as national foundations.
In addition, the Andrew W. Mellon foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program, and the Pew Memorial Trust
awarded the Institute several substantial educational grants that expanded and supported postdoctoral training in health policy
and health services within the IHPS.
The Institute began HIV/AIDS related research in 1982, and three San Francisco foundations funded the establishment of the
AIDS Health Services Research program to conduct policy analysis and provide technical assistance at the local state and federal
level. In 1985 Mayor Diane Feinstein named Lee the first President of the San Francisco Health Commission, a challenging position
during the AIDS epidemic, for the commission was the governing body of the city and county health department.
In 1986 when Congress established the Physician Payment Review Commission to reform Medicare, Philip Lee was named to head
the Commission, and shaped the reforms adopted by Congress in 1989.
In summer of 1993 Lee was once again called to Washington to serve as Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of
Health and Human Services during the Clinton administration.
During his long and varied career Philip Lee has published more than 150 articles and co-authored many books in the health
policy field, including Pills, Profits and Politics, with Milton Silverman. He has edited seven editions of the popular volume,
The Nation's Health. He has served on the boards of many organizations, such as the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation, the World
Institute on Disability, and the Glide Foundation of the Glide Memorial United Methodist Church. He is a former trustee of
the Carnegie Corporation of New York. In 1998 he received the David Rogers Award from the Association of American Medical
Colleges. In 2000 he was given the Institute of Medicine's Gustav O. Lienhard Award for "outstanding national achievement
in improving personal health care services in the United States," as well as the American Public Health Association's Sedgwick
Medal. In 2001 the California Public Health Association presented him with the Henrik Blum Award.
Philip Lee served as Director of the UCSF Institute for Health Policy Studies from 1972 to 1993, and in September of 2007
the IHPS was renamed the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies in his honor. He continues as Senior Scholar at
the Institute, and Professor emeritus of Social Medicine, in the School of Medicine at UCSF. Throughout his career he has
been advisor, mentor and teacher to scores of students, fellows and peers, many of whom have who have advanced into important
posts in corporations, government, and education.

in a letter from November 18th of that year, and reorganization of the DHEW is major topic of discussion 1968, as is contingency
planning for the Poor People's March (April -May). [Interfiled with the bulk of the correspondence were copies of licenses
for the production of blood products, the majority of these have been retained, but a 1968 change in the official name of
one of these projects required all previous permits to be canceled and reissued, most of these have been removed.]

Speeches Subseries 2
1965-1969
Scope and Contents
This subseries documents Lee's speaking appearances during his time at DHEW. Lee made more than 140 appearances during this
period covering a wide range of subjects at national, state and local medical, dental and allied health professional meetings,
international conferences, and universities, as well as community, social and political meetings. Lee kept two parallel files
documenting these speeches: speech files and speech books. There is also one folder of "Congressional Statements" from May
1966-September 1968.
o The Speech files are the larger of the two, arranged chronologically and labeled with the name of the event and location
of the speech. Most of the folders contain one or more drafts of the speech. Many also contain correspondence, notes, reprints
and/or background information used to create the speech.
o The Speech books were kept in binders with a numbered speech list and then a single typed or printed copy of each speech
in numeric order. This series has a more complete run than the Speech Files but does not include the supplementary material
found in those files.

Chancellor, University of California San Francisco Series IV
1969-1973
Scope and Contents
This series covers the three years that Lee served as the Chancellor of the University of California San Francisco. He became
Chancellor in February 1969 and served during a very volatile and dynamic period before resigning at the end of 1972 in order
to start the Health Policy Program (which later became the Institute of Health Policy Studies). These materials are divided
into several subseries: Correspondence, Speeches, Articles, Subject Files. There is extensive chronological official correspondence,
some personal correspondence and correspondence with professional groups and organizations. The majority of this correspondence
consists of carbon copies of outgoing correspondence. There are also speech and article files, though not as extensive as
in the DHEW series. The subject subseries documents Lee's extra-chancellery interests, including evaluation of medical programs
for the Ohio Board of Regents and Harvard University and work on a Public Health Service Hospital Conversion Project. Correspondence
includes information on the organization of the Sun Valley Symposia, as well as his continuing interest in health policy issues
along with his chancellery duties. Major internal (UCSF) issues addressed include budget, long-range planning, staffing, and
curriculum issues. Of special interest are Lee's attention to the question of minority admissions and the creation of affirmative
action policies on campus. Lee was also chancellor during a time of national turmoil. Issues connected to the Vietnam war,
war protests, Kent State are treated in letters and speeches. There are also reports Lee received connected to the Public
Health Service Hospital Conversion Project.
