Bridges to Health and Healthcare

"This book is a must-read for those who want to move the health outcomes needle for the United States. It describes a new way of addressing real-world problems, especially seeing and hearing about healthcare challenges from the vantage point of the person in poverty."

—Shelley White-Means, Executive Director Consortium on Health Education, Economic Empowerment, and Research (CHEER)

"This book creates a rich understanding of why 'obvious' priorities for folks like me who work in public health are not the most 'obvious' priorities or the most salient issues for people in poverty."

—Rev. Kenneth S. Robinson, MD, MDiv. Pastor and Chief Executive, St. Andrew AME Church and Enterprise; Public Health Policy Advisor, Shelby County Government; Former Commissioner of Health, State of Tennessee

"The authors not only highlight strategies for quality patient care, but also take into account productivity--reducing readmissions, reducing inappropriate emergency department use, wellness within the community. It’s a win-win for people in poverty and the system that serves them."

—Nicole Baptiste, Director Social Work Services

"Healthcare providers now have a tool for making 'evidence-based' changes within their institutions. This book provides that evidence and gives suggestions to improve patient care and outcomes."

—Nancy E. Garth, BSN, RN, CLNC, FCN, Health Education Coordinator UK HealthCare-Polk Dalton Clinic, Lexington, KY
