Product Description null Review "Mary O'Dowd examines the stress and mental health issues healthcare workers face and the impact of misinformation about COVID."-- "State of Affairs with Steve Adubato""This is a motivating collection of stories about exceptional leaders. Women of diverse backgrounds, and bound by specific attributes: passion about the well-being of the people they serve and commitment to improving the social and structural forces that shape their health. An important reminder that one's legacy can be defined by one major accomplishment, or by many smaller achievements over time."--Jewell Mullen "Associate Dean for Health Equity, Dell Medical School""Kudos to O'Dowd and Charbonneau for identifying outstanding women leaders to compile these case studies that both humble and inspire the reader. These lessons remind us it takes one person, using both the adversity of their lives and the talents they have acquired, to improve the health of both communities and the world. Never has there been a more important time in healthcare history to extend ourselves to apply both intellect and persistence to leave our mark."--Amy B. Mansue "President and CEO, Inspira Health"
