Creating healthier communities: 25 pioneering models.
The Healthcare Forum Journal has compiled this compendium to serve as a resource in creating healthier communities. Our aim is to help healthcare organizations, policymakers, and others (payers, providers, patients, physicians, and citizens) rethink the system of healthcare delivery by opening up a dialogue--the ideas presented in Lappe and Du Bois' overview, "The Quiet Revolution," provide the groundwork for understanding how grassroots efforts are having a remarkable impact in creating healthier communities and enhancing quality of life, and 25 pioneering models of communities that are making a difference illustrate the kinds of innovative programs and initiatives that are going on in the U.S. and abroad. If you know of additional resources, please let us know. We'll report your ideas in upcoming issues of the Journal. Our special thanks to Marion Merrell Dow Inc. for co-sponsoring this import project.
