Description: A comprehensive survey of the health care crisis in one of the nation's poorest states
Review Quotes: Mario J. Azevedo skillfully directs the reader through the two sections of the book, the first devoted to health and health policy and the second to an analysis of where we are as a state in infectious disease, chronic disease, maternal and child health, and mental health, among others. The reasons to buy, read, and reread this book are the opportunities and innovations for change offered throughout the text. If you love Mississippi and Mississippians like I do, spend some time with this book. Maybe we can put our heads together to make health and health care better, right here, right now.--Dr. Rick deShazo, University of Mississippi Medical Center and host of Southern Remedy on Mississippi Public Broadcasting
