Book Nook: The Hospital-Life, Death, and Dollars in a Small American Town by Brian Alexander

Vick Mickunas' 2021 interview with Brian Alexander

Brian Alexander was recently granted access to the inner workings of a small community hospital in the northeast corner of Ohio. This rare opportunity gave him the chance to see how health care is currently being administered in America and how badly our system is broken. Alexander believes that we cannot repair our health care system unless we are also willing to address the deep inequities in our economic
system.

This could be the most crucial book that you will read this year.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library, Clark County Public Library, Dayton Metro Library, and Wright Memorial Public Library.
