Community Impact: E-Book
Leading Community Based Changes in the Culture of Health in the US presents solutions to these vexing questions:
- Why does the US continue to lag far behind other peer nations despite its economic and political power?
- Why are whole segments of the US population consistently burdened by poor health?
- What can be done to ensure all people in the US have a fair chance of living a healthy life?
In this E-Book, 46 experts from nurses to social workers present a way forward which shifts away from a fragmented and often judgmental approach to health.
Our world is changing rapidly. Change calls for new approaches and a new kind of leadership. Traditional approaches have failed to move the needle on our country’s most deeply entrenched problems. Despite major advances in medicine and healthcare, these Wicked Problems persist and particularly for marginalized groups. Challenges in moving toward a Culture of Health are ever-evolving and ever-lasting. They require an infinite mindset from leaders and this E-Book provides real community based examples. The 15 chapters of Leading Community Based Changes in the Culture of Health in the US detail evidence-based approaches to addressing health inequities through equity centered leadership including:
