Repairing damaged care.
These are times of great change and upheaval in health care. More and more people are uninsured, consumers and employers pay substantially higher health insurance premiums for care, there is a shortage of nurses, and doctors go on strike. And these facts don't take into account that hospitals are going bankrupt while searching for their roles in the 21st century, the population is aging, the growth of alternative and complementary health care, the biotechnology and genetics revolution, the depersonalization of health care, and the huge cutbacks in federal and state government funding of health care and other human services.
