Findings: The findings of this review indicate that the most effective way to care for the sick or disabled is with community involvement. Practical implications: The practical implications are that the review helps readers to gain a better understanding of the journal content and how for each issue, common themes can be developed and discussed. Originality/value: No other Emerald Journal has a review section of this type so it is a unique selling point for IJHG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
