“Emergency Care and the Public’s Health provides useful and practical information to enhance the understanding of the state of emergency care in the United States today. . . In my opinion, physicians in training (including EM residents), emergency care providers, allied health care professionals, current and future ED directors, administrators, and even hospital leaders (CEOs, CFOs) should be exposed to this book.” (Academic Emergency Medicine, 1 February 2015)
