Health Equity, Cuban Style
The United States has not yet decided to ensure that every citizen has access to health care services at reasonable cost. The United States spends more on health care than any other country by far. Yet the health status of the US population, when compared with that of like nations, remains poor. The US system does not operate efficiently, fares poorly in terms of health equity, and has an illness and injury care industry with many uncoordinated "…
Academic Health Department Partnerships: Bridging the Gap Between Town and Gown
Development of a Research Agenda Focused on Academic Health Departments
An academic health department (AHD) is a formal partnership between an academic institution and a governmental public health agency. Case studies have described the value of individual AHDs in the areas of student engagement, practice-based research, workforce development, and service. With growing interest in AHDs and the increasing importance of academic–practice linkages in both academic programs’ and public health agencies’ accreditation proc…

Keck and Reed Respond
We are glad that Levy agrees the experiences of Cuba’s National Health System offer some lessons for us in the United States as we struggle with health system reform and improving health professional education.

Although mutual awareness has been limited by long-term political hostilities between the United States and Cuban governments, the history and details of the Cuban health system indica…
Community health: Our common challenge
The United States is engaged in a great debate about the future of its health system. In that debate, attention is disproportionately focused on paying for illness care rather than creating a healthy public. Significant change in thought and action will be required for our health system to serve all citizens effectively. Improvements in health status will require that the determinants of health be effectively addressed, in addition to improving h…
Creating a healthy public
Significant change in thought and action will be required for our health system to become capable of serving all citizens effectively. Reliance on market forces and political expediency to shape health policy has focused attention inappropriately on finding ways to pay for illness care rather than maximizing health status. This misdirection of thought and effort has led many of us to search for ways to assure that health policy decisions are cons…
