HCHA Publishes Snapshots of Harris County Health

Edge just completed design, copywriting and production work for the 2009 Annual Report for the Harris County Healthcare Alliance. HCHA is a nonprofit corporation formed in 2006 to serve as a catalyst for improving the healthcare system of Houston and Harris County.

The new book conveys "snapshots" of the state of health in our area, with particular focus on infant mortality, adolescent pregnancy, pregnancy/infancy outcomes, sexually transmitted infections, hepatitis B and C, immunizations, cancer, adult and childhood obesity, and emergency-room use for behavioral-health problems. Serving as editor on the report was Karen Love, HCHA’s executive director. Valuable editorial assistance was provided by Michele Salazar-Martinez.
