Abstract: Clinical anthropology applies the principles of anthropological theory to practical patient care, maintaining that cultural health patterns are not isolated but are integrated with a culture's complex system of beliefs and values. Clinical anthropology can be the link between folk medicine and traditional medical practice. Cultures provide systems for health care, and health professionals can promote health and patient care when they comprehend these systems. Prenatal clinics, hospital deliveries and the health and healing practice of five ethnic groups in Miamia, Florida, are examined. Health programs succeed or fail largely due to the sociocultural context of the program and how well that context is considered; family planning, cultural conflicts over the diagnosis of Chagas' disease, and a successful bicultural educational program to reduce coronary heart disease are discussed, Finally, nutritional anthropology and anthropological views on aging and dying are examined.
