Surviving U.S. Healthcare

Healthcare can be confusing, costly, and, when things go wrong, even dangerous. Surviving U.S. Healthcare gives readers practical guidance for navigating today’s healthcare system and becoming stronger advocates for their own care. The book explores five ways to survive and thrive during the healthcare crisis, seven actions for achieving personal healthcare excellence, and three steps toward restoring excellent patient care and optimal health. With a focus on patient safety, knowledge, and empowerment, this book challenges readers to become informed participants in their healthcare because what you don’t know can kill you, and what you know can save your life.
