Community Health Workers in Action proposes support and expansion of the role of community health workers in meeting the health needs of marginalized groups in United States cities (although their potential reach is not limited to any one group or geographical section). Given the healthinequities that continue to touch the lives of millions of people of color across the country, these professionals' efforts - which translate to innovative, community-centered responses designed to reach particularly vulnerable populations - are quite timely. In order to truly understand the topicof health care, one must first explore its historical contexts, socio-cultural factors, and the ways in which values play a critical role in shaping a worldview of the right to quality care. This book offers readers a window into the dynamic field that continues to expand in highly creative andcost-effective ways, which ultimately shape one major piece of the complicated puzzle that is health care in America. | Community Health Workers in Action by Melvin Delgado, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
