  • "When I first received Pozgar's Legal Aspects of Health Care Administration I thought where has this book been!!! I cannot wait to use it in the spring semester. It is by far one of the best books that deals with the legal aspects of healthcare and a valuable resourse for nurses in management positions and faculty that teach healthcare and the law."
