This review is from: Being A Health Unit Coordinator (5th Edition) (Paperback)

I was very pleased with the used book I purchased for my Health Unit Secretary class. It was in great condition and saved me quite a bit of money. Also, it arrived sooner than I expected. I would definately make another purchase like this.
