This well-written, thorough text describes the varied spectrum of work performed at the local level by public health practitioners, and how it is they who take the lead in social justice today. The wide array of approaches each public health department takes, such as budgeting, staffing, services, involvement in personal health services, and their relationships with states is discussed. Lessons taken from these approaches are disclosed, such as the leadership of the health worker of the present and future is clearly the person who can organize and lead a coalition. Lack of resources and other challenges are confronted, and how clearly defined and shared goals of other groups in the community can create a successful local health department. All local public health professionals, instructors and state and local health planners with policy-making responsibilities will find this book a valuable reference.

Local Public Health Practice: Trends and Models PDF

Dr. Mays has brilliantly tackled an extremely complex subject about an often mismanaged system in a complete, easily understood work that should be read by anybody even remotely concerned with health care. Lessons learned from the painstaking research Mays completed during his tenure at University of North Carolina, offers solutions that if applied by comminities will save taxpayers millions of dollars and offer low income patients better, more humane and more efficient medical care. Dr. Mays' groundbreaking research shows how so many public health care systems provide overlapping services that carelessly waste money and ultimatly do not serve the people who so desperately need care. Read this book, and you will both be horrified at how medical services are sometimes provided and understand how the future of health care could be so much brighter.
