Yet, Appalachia also knows the quiet strength of people working together to lift one another up as a community. In this collection of essays, health professionals explore how clinics and communities address the barriers to healthcare that continue to plague this underserved region and discuss theoretical perspectives about Appalachian healthcare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Topics include regional dental care, cancer and diabetes treatment, the integration of primary care and behavioral health, telehealth, the importance of \"patient responsibility,\" and the effects of faith, fatalism and family dynamics on the health of Appalachian youth.
