Dimensions of Community-Based Projects in Health Care

Abstract

The last decade has seen a groundswell of scholarly support for rooting health care in communities (Farmer et al. 2006; Wallerstein and Duran 2006; Israel et al. 2010). Despite an emerging consensus that community-based medicine is well positioned to reduce inequalities in access, improve outcomes, and reduce aggregate costs, American health-care institutions have been slow to adapt. Change, however, is occurring. American hospitals, for example, are morphing from isolated medical campuses into centers that are increasingly integrated into communities. Regardless of the partisan perspectives from which they arise, health policy proposals often include at least components of community-based health care.

The authors would like to acknowledge support for this research provided by Ohio University’s Research and Scholarly Advancement Fellowship. The authors also thank Dr. Berkeley Franz for helpful research assistance.
