News from the Urban League of Southern CT
Vanessa Simmons, Exec. Admin. Assistant, ULSC
The Urban League of Southern Connecticut proudly announces its involvement in a groundbreaking national initiative to diversify participation and equitable access to clinical trials. The EQBMED initiative is dedicated to fostering diverse representation in clinical trials.
We are in partnership with Yale School of Medicine’s Equitable Breakthroughs in the Advancement of Medicine Development (EQBMED). It is our goal to engage our communities in conversations to provide information, and discuss the importance of our participation in clinical trial research that we have been hesitant to become involved in due to our past history, and to address barriers that have prevented us from participating in the research and development of life-saving medicines that are genetically researched and developed for our bodies to ensure the best outcome for us.
