A guide to progressive healthcare packed full of actionable recommendations and a road map to a more inclusive and equitable future.

Health for Everyone: A Guide to Politically and Socially Progressive Healthcare brings together experts across a range of healthcare and related disciplines to explore how we can make our healthcare system more progressive for groups that have been overlooked for too long. Rather than a health policy manual adopting a 30,000-foot view, this is a practical guide to start making healthcare more responsive, more patient-centered, and more community-led—right now, starting from present realities. Zackary Berger, a well-known primary care physician, activist, and bioethicist, has brought together teachers, clinicians, advocates, and researchers, to map the steps we need to take to provide better care to African American, Latinx, chronically ill, and disabled patients while improving the system overall for everyone

Health for Everyone answers questions such as how do you provide the same care to every individual, when individuals are different? How do you get ideal care when you are a member of a disadvantaged group? What if you have a chronic condition that tends to get the short end of the stick, for which treatment might not be available, or be stigmatized? Focusing on a practical, yet ethical and philosophical case for progressive health care, this book focuses on what matters most to patients and on the steps we need to take to insure better health for everyone.

Zackary Berger, MD, PhD, is a primary care physician and bioethicist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. He has published widely in the scholarly literature and for the lay public on making healthcare a reflection of the health needs of ordinary people and communities. He lives in Baltimore, MD.

Cecília Tomori is an anthropologist and public health scholar whose work investigates the structural and sociocultural drivers that shape health, illness, and health inequities. She is the Director of Global Public Health and Community Health at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing.
