About the Book

In A Call To Action, Hank McKinnell reframes the debate about healthcare away from issues of cost to the benefits of wellness, arguing that the focus should be on the benefits of wellness to society and what society gains from well people; a more productive society leads to a more robust economy. The author goes on to provide a sobering assessment of the looming threat posed by global disease if unabated, and offers guideposts for what business leaders - those who he believes are best equipped to address the problem - can and must do to contain it. Writing from his experience as a 32-year veteran of the war against disease and a committed philanthropist, McKinnell outlines four critical steps that must be taken to eliminate the global threat of infectious disease and alleviate its economic burden: 1. Access to medicines that combat devastating infectious diseases must be expanded to include the world's poorest nations. 2. Long-term commitments in facilitating access to medicine must be established. 3. Improved healthcare delivery, training, education and infrastructure are needed along with access to medicine in order to improve conditions in developing countries. 4. Effective public-private partnerships are essential to providing the expertise and resources required to solve the problem of access to medicines and healthcare.

Review :
"...an important read for anyone who strives to understand healthcare." Jeffrey R. Immelt, Chairman and CEO, GE "..."Healthcare in America is so expensive that businesses have often focused only on the cost of sickness, not on the value of health. Hank McKinnell deserves a lot of credit for starting the discussion." --Mark R. Warner, Governor of Virginia "Over three decades on the front lines of modern medicine have given Hank McKinnell a unique perspective on one of our nation's greatest challenges." Mitt Romney, Governor of Massachusetts "In this book, Hank McKinnell calls for more investment in prevention, greater individual responsibility for one's health, and deeper compassion for the poorest and sickest among us should be heard by everyone concerned with the world we'll hand over to the next generation." Tommy G. Thompson, Former Secretary, US Department of Health and Human Services "In A Call to Action, Hank McKinnell offers a particularly compelling and provocative perspective on this vital subject. Policymakers and lay readers alike will be grateful for its many insights." Kenneth I. Chenault, Chairman and CEO, AMEX "Hank McKinnell has written a compelling, comprehensive and definitive strategy on how we can maximize individual and public health and spend our scarce resources far more wisely than we do today." Michael J. Critelli, Chairman and CEO, Pitney Bowes Amazon.com 20050328
