It is essential reading for everyone?students, providers, and planners?who will need these new partners in the effort to improve the health of our most vulnerable populations. --H. Jack Geiger, M.D., Logan Professor Emeritus of Community Medicine, City University of New York Medical School A lively and scholarly account of the successes and obstacles that community health organizations face. --Nicholas Freudenberg, Distinguished Professor of Public Health, Hunter College, City University of New York A comprehensive, scholarly, and passionate book that analyzes the health of communities and describes effective organizing models for change. --Karen Benker, M.D., M.P.H., assistant clinical professor, Department of Preventive Medicine, State University of New York Downstate Medical Center
