Health Equity Policy

Blaming individuals for poor health choices isn’t the remedy. David K. Jones (1981-2021) describes how a community-led, goal-oriented approach to creating health equity policies is needed and that everyone benefits when we ensure that all people can pursue a healthy, fulfilling life. In this compassionate and practical book, Jones provides a roadmap for anyone who would like to make a difference, wherever they live. Jones calls on his readers to act for change and provides examples from the Delta to show how. He reminds us that small steps—”ripples of hope”— can save lives and improve health.
