This is the 5th volume of the series To Improve Health and Health Care, with the first volume published in 1997 and produced by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The series "tries to present clearly and forthrightly what the Foundation does, why it does it, and what it has learned from its experience." All of the papers focus on the improvement of health care of the American people. This volume covers nurse home visitation program, tuberculosis, health care to Native Americans, service credit banking, long-term care, health policy fellowships programs, recovery high school, literature and medicine, AIDS, program-related investments, and grant making in New Jersey.

The paper on AIDS is by Ethan Bronner, entitled "The Foundation and AIDS: Behind the Curve but Leading the Way." It is an historical essay on the work of the Foundation in AIDS research. A very informative paper that would be of interest to all academic libraries.
