Review Quotes:
"Clear-cut, easy-to-understand chapters on a variety of illnesses both major and minor . . . The best use of this book, perhaps, is in the basics it offers: overviews, learning to read charts, understanding numbers, and making easy health changes. That's all in here, it's do-able, and it could make Black Health Matters a patient-empowering tool for understanding major health issues, recognizing them, and keeping ahead."
