Waking Up In America: How One Doctor Brings Hope To Those Who Need It Most

Waking Up in America is the compelling, inspirational autobiography of a man who has emerged as a pioneer in the field of caring for the growing population of impoverished and homeless Americans and as a force for social change. Dr. Pedro Jose Greer, the son of Cuban immigrants, has traveled from the trash-littered, drug-infested streets of one of Americas toughest neighborhoods to the offices of corporate and political power brokers. Throughout his odyssey, he has become known for his tireless efforts to bring health care to societys untouchables -- homeless drug addicts, hookers, alcoholics, runaways, or people who have simply lost their way. His story is also the story of all the people whose lives he has changed forever, and it proves that hope exists for every person, no matter how dire his or her circumstances.
