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
