The Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved (JHCPU) is an academic journal founded in 1990 by David Satcher, MD, PhD then President of Meharry Medical College (later, U.S. Surgeon General). JHCPU is published by Johns Hopkins University Press for Meharry, and is affiliated with the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved. It is the premier journal covering the health and health care of medically underserved populations in North and Central America and the Caribbean. It covers topics such as access to health care, quality, costs, regulation, legislation, and disease prevention. Articles take the form of scholarly research and expert opinion, as well as policy analyses and book reviews. Each issue also contains an ACU Column and a Heroes and Great Ideas Column. The editor is Virginia Brennan, PhD, MA of Meharry Medical College. The journal is published quarterly in February, May, August, and November, with occasional supplemental issues. It is listed as one of the nation's leading Health Policy journals by the Kaiser Family Foundation and as an essential core journal in Public Health Practice by the Medical Library Association’s Core Public Health Journals Project.
