MY HEART IT IS DELICIOUS is the amazing and inspiring story of how a baker's dozen of Minnesota volunteers responded to an international health crisis half a world away and helped transform refugee medical care across the globe.

Neither did many of ARC's volunteer nurses and physicians, who realized when they returned to Minnesota that they and western medicine needed to change if non-English-speaking refugees had any hope of better health care upon their arrival in America. MY HEART IT IS DELICIOUS tells many stories?of the American Refugee Committee, the Minneapolis Center for Victims of Torture, the Center for International Health, as well as of patients and practitioners like Dr. Walker.Young, Biloine W. is the author of 'My Heart It Is Delicious', published 2007 under ISBN 9781890434762 and ISBN 1890434760.
