“The most innovative and potentially highest value strategic plans and programmatic interventions will amount to little if they are not well executed. Managing Health Programs and Projects is an important resource for managers to use to sharpen their competencies in executing strategic and programmatic plans. Longest is very effective in linking the visioning and strategic planning processes with the tactical thinking, stakeholder management and measurement, and control, knowledge, and skills necessary for effective implementation.”--Douglas S. Wakefield, professor and head, Department of Health Management and Policy, University of Iowa

Beaufort B. Longest Jr. is M. Allen Pond Professor of Health Policy and Management in the Department of Health Policy and Management in the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh. He also holds a secondary appointment as professor of business administration in the Katz Graduate School of Business, and is director of the University of Pittsburgh’s Health Policy Institute.

Managing Health Programs and Projects fulfills the need for a clear and relevant book covering the most important elements of existing management theories. It provides an excellent overview for those who are either managing, or preparing to manage, health-related programs and projects.”--Carolyn E. Crump, research assistant professor, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
