Huge thanks to Rakesh Patel, MD, MBA, FACHE for advocating for #accesstocare at the White House Clinical Trials Forum and for being a member of San Diego's #CEOsAgainstCancer Chapter of the American Cancer Society. Thank you for representing #SanDiego in this very important conversation. Neighborhood Healthcare
Chief Executive Officer at Neighborhood Healthcare, an FQHC and PACE organization.
Just wrapped up participation in the White House Clinical Trials Forum. Pushed for the importance of community health centers being a part of the solution in having more underrepresented patients participating in clinical trials. Nice to see the work we are doing at Neighborhood Healthcare in conducting clinical trials and publishing a white paper/toolkit on getting more health centers involved - a part of the conversation. #ClinicalTrialsForum #communityhealthcenters #FQHCs

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month and unfortunately the incidence of this cancer in younger people is rising dramatically. Guidelines currently recommend that you get a colonoscopy at the age of 45 as part of your routine screening. However, if symptoms or other risk factors are present, earlier might be ideal. Check out some of the basic risk factors and stats associated with CRC shared by Dr. Pamela Lee, Chair, Department of Surgery SHARP MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CEOs Against Cancer - San Diego Chapter 20% of those diagnosed in 2019 were under 50yo! Basic Risk Factors: + obsesity + smoking + poor diet + sedentary lifestyle + family history Dietary advice: eat lots of FIBER! 25-35g/day or supplements
