Christie W. Kiefer

Christie W. Kiefer vividly brings home the meaning of poverty in people's lives as he examines both their access to-and their lack of- health care. Health Work with the Poor offers both health workers and activists a wealth of practical information on advocacy for the poor. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter and appendices on Internet resources for the study of poverty and on a proposed government program instruct teachers how to foster social awareness among their students. This book is both a valuable resource for courses on poverty and health and an indispensable manual for anyone who works with the poor.
