Pour les communautés francophones en situation minoritaire (CFSM), l'offre active des services de santé et des services sociaux en français est une question de qualité, de sécurité, d'humanisation des soins et services, de droit et d'équité, et d'éthique professionnelle. Les enjeux liés à la formation postsecondaire et aux ressources humaines, notamment au recrutement et à la rétention des professionnels, sont particulièrement importants, car il est essentiel de former des leaders capables d'intervenir efficacement et de soutenir une meilleure organisation des milieux de travail.  Ainsi, cet ouvrage combine la théorie et les données empiriques pour se diriger vers l'action afin de permettre aux futurs professionnels de mieux saisir les enjeux de l'accessibilité et de l'offre active de services en français qui se posent en milieu de travail. Cet ouvrage collectif multidisciplinaire est le premier à réunir des chercheurs en santé, en travail social, en sociologie, en science politique, en administration publique, en droit et en éducation, afin d'approfondir les enjeux linguistiques en matière de santé et de services sociaux, de même que d'offre active de services en français.

During the Jim Crow era, Florida's public health nurses, mostly white and a few black women, tackled the state's public health issues born of race, climate, geography, and poverty. These pioneering professional women were often the only ones available to deliver current health improvement information into the homes of people who were out of the reach of modern medical care. They found innovative ways to build a bridge between the communities they served and public health policies, both state and federal, that addressed the threats of infection and the high infant and maternal mortality levels. Competing cultural constructions of health shaped their groundbreaking efforts to reach and serve underprivileged members of each race, whether to prevent illness and disease or to improve childbirth and general wellbeing.

Coverage includes papers on geographical and place factors and disparities, SES and race/ethnicity factors, chronic care and serious health problems such as HIV/AIDs and kidney transplantation, comparative aspects and perceptions of health disparities.

Post examines how coalitions build power in the policymaking arena. She focuses on interorganizational partnerships, internal capacity building, and claims-making, and shows that multi-organizational alliances can be intermediary mechanisms for promoting interests and realizing political gains. With case studies from Massachusetts and California between 2004 and 2007, Post investigates how statewide, health policy coalitions incorporate immigrant interests in organizing strategies for policy change. The analysis supports a theoretical framework of how mediating institutions can facilitate the
