IHA Publications

IHA Publications and the IHA Ecommerce site, exists to bring informative and provocative materials on community health and other health issues to healthcare professionals and the public. These publications may expose you to what professionals are reading or to cutting edge perspectives on emerging issues. You will find publications by professionals from IHA community benefit programs and books that are in high demand among consumers, providers, professionals, or both. We are pleased to make available many different views of community benefit and population health. We welcome your feedback – good or bad – about anything you have purchased here. The decision to place a book, or maintain it, in our online Bookstore does not represent a judgment on our part about the validity of specific content. We encourage all readers to evaluate and judge for themselves, and we reserve the right to place or pull a book based on user feedback and our own needs assessment. Nothing offered on this website is intended to substitute for an individualized, thoughtful decision process by patients and providers.
