📣 New release alert!

Changing Care: Advancing Social Justice in the Health Professions, edited by Jennifer Brady and Jacqui Gingras, brings together diverse voices from across the health care field to explore how practitioners can use advocacy and activism to confront structural injustice.

From racism and poverty to misogyny and ableism, health professionals witness daily how systemic inequities harm patients and communities. Changing Care examines how those within the system can push back and advocate for change through research, education, and care itself.

Through case studies, research, and first-hand accounts, this book challenges institutions to take responsibility for advancing social justice and reimagines what truly equitable health care could look like.
