Summary:

This collection consists of materials related to Barbara Berney's research interests in health care reform and environmental issues. Some of these materials may have been compiled as part of Dr. Berney's work on the documentary Power to heal. The health care reform series includes articles, reports, press releases, briefings, newsletters, pamphlets, and other materials designed for dissemination to the public. Some materials are centered on local policies, while others are more nationally focused. This series also includes materials about health care reform as it relates to particular groups of people. Thus, there are folders for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, women's health, and materials printed by AARP. Also included in this series are materials related to labor and occupational safety and health, public health resources, and community publications. The environmental issues series consists primarily of materials related to sustainable agriculture, environmental groups, and the effects of pollution and of U. S. militarism. These materials include reports and dissertations; newsletters to organization membership; pamphlets and other educational materials; and artifacts. When materials refer to both health and environmental issues, they can be found in the health care reform series.
