Knickman San Francisco Jossey-Bass 2004 The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is arguably the most important health care philanthropy at present, and perhaps ever. With a booming stock market adding almost daily to its corpus, the foundation has large and growing outlays that totaled 67 million in 1996. This sum dwarfs the grants of all other health-related foundations and probably exceeds spending on health-services research and development by the entire federal government. The reach and ambition of the programs the foundation has pursued during its 25-year existence shine through in this slim book. What is most impressive and valuable about To Improve Health and Health Care 1997, however, is its careful recounting of programmatic performance -- both the successes and the shortfalls. For those who take the time to read the book carefully, it provides a valuable lesson for proponents of social change. The bottom line: expect failure, be patient, and build incrementally on small successes.
