  • Summary

  • Healthcare in America has been unevenly distributed since its founding. Our healthcare system has failed many Americans. In the wake of the pandemic, these disparities have been caste in sharp relief as the country struggles to address the system's failures. Equal Hope is a healthcare education, advocacy and navigation organization whose mission is to eliminate health disparities across Chicago. Our unique multi-pronged approach to systemic change has been recognized as one of the most successful systems change organizations in the country. As a result of our work, the death rate for African American women diagnosed with breast cancer has dropped nearly 20% over the past decade. And we are only just getting started. Join us for a timely and critical discussion on healthcare in America. As one of our founding Board members, Dr. David Ansell from Rush University Medical Center says "This is not a deficiency problem; it is an abundance problem poorly distributed."

    Mistrust in our healthcare system or failure to inform patients, what is the cause of lack of diversity in clinical trials in America?  Dr. Patricia Robinson and John McIlwain explore this question with Dr.  Kent Hoskins from the University of Illinois Cancer Center.  Dr. Hoskins has been a key research partner and supporter of Equal Hope from our earliest days.  As our medical and pharmaceutical industries grapple with how to create greater diversity in clinical trials to get to better testing and treatment results, we must first acknowledge and confront the inherent causes of our lack of diversity. Dr. Hoskins discusses not only trials for treatment protocols, but the importance of diversity in understanding tumor biomarkers.
