This text is written in an engaging, easy-to-follow style, by authors and community-college instructors that intentionally introduced many, topics with sufficient detail and eliminated nonessential details that merely confuse or bog down the beginning student. Designed to meet the needs of community college students and lower-division four year students enrolled in allied health programs, this text exposes them to the breadth of the field of health care without overwhelming them with detail. Students will leave the class with a broad overview of health care and the building blocks for further learning in subsequent classes and in their careers. By combining a business and health perspective, it offers a unique focus for students who not only have the desire to help people, but also get one of the many employment opportunities in this field. The text is organized into four parts which are stand-alone in nature and allows instructors the flexibility to teach the material in the order that suits their needs.
