Product Description:

Medical researchers and practitioners have made tremendous contributions in treating injuries and diseases. Still, even when providers patch together a system to deliver medical care to rural residents, we are not that much closer to understanding health. What is health? What is the relationship between health and disability in rural America? How does community influence health and disability? Vincent Francisco of the University of South Carolina introduces the concept of Syndemics and shows us a glimpse of the future of rural health.
