Teaching Hospitals and the Urban Poor
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
While academic health centers (AHCs) have helped to propel the United States to world leadership in medical technology, they have in recent decades largely ignored the medical care of their neighbors, the urban poor. In this book a leading health affairs expert analyzes the nation's twenty-five leading AHCs, considers whether proposed changes in medical care will realign these hospitals with the poor, and assesses trends that may challenge AHCs in the future.
