"In Healing by Heart, a wide-ranging group of individuals draw from their experience with Hmong patients to present a clear and unique vision for achieving cultural competency in health care. . . . Healing by Heart raises fundamental questions, such as how can health care professionals diagnose or treat a patient from a group whose beliefs, explanatory models, and communication patterns are radically different from their own? . . . I recommend Healing by Heart to a wide audience of health care practitioners, anthropologists, sociologists, public health-oriented individuals, ethics committee members, and others interested in cross-cultural health care."--Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
