Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - As we move to reform our health system, lessons from the Northern Manhattan Community Voices Program will be invaluable-lessons in collaboration, partnership, mutual respect, and learning. -- David Satcher, former U.S. Surgeon General and Assistant Secretary of Health The story of the Northern Manhattan Community Voices Collaborative contains lessons for health practitioners, public policy experts, and all who care about the health of underserved communities. The ambitions of the project were huge, and not everything worked as planned or was sustained after initial funding expired. Yet the vision of Community Voices, with all its preventive and treatment components, represents the best of American health care. The lessons shared should be of value to all who wish to improve the health of the public. -- Steven A. Schroeder, University of California, San Francisco, and former president, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
