inequities that continue to touch the lives of millions of people of color across the country, these professionals' efforts--which translate to innovative, community-centered responses designed to reach particularly vulnerable populations--are quite timely. In order to truly understand the topic of

cost-effective ways, which ultimately shape one major piece of the complicated puzzle that is health care in America.
