Dedicated to the cause of "furthering a critical consciousness in service of the search for acceptable answers," this extensively researched book portrays the care of health throughout the U.S. and selectively compares U.S. health care patterns with those and other countries. In the context of world-wide concerns about environmental health and health services problems, the care of health and communities analyzes U.S. patterns in the organization and delivery of health services, the education of health professionals, and the parameters of planning and implementing personal health care services.

Dr. Milio examines the care of health and its related problems within the perspective of social, political, environmental, and health-related disciplines. The text is generously illustrated with up-to-date tables, including a comparative summary of health services in 25 countries and many figures.
