Building Equity in Clinical Research

Sinai Chicago and Sinai Urban Health Institute hosted the final session of the ASSETS series at Mount Sinai Hospital—bringing together over 70 attendees from healthcare, universities, community organizations, and business.

The day focused on partnering to increase equity and inclusion in clinical trials, ensuring that scientific advances benefit all. Many meaningful connections were made to drive this mission forward.

As Sinai Chicago President and CEO Dr. Ngozi Ezike emphasized: “Ensuring that historically underrepresented populations served by safety net organizations are included in research is not simply a ‘nice to do’—it is essential to achieving health equity and creating communities where everyone has access to the care and opportunities they need to thrive.”

Thank you to Genentech and the University of Illinois Cancer Center for sponsoring this series and for including Sinai in this important work that shines a light on inequities in clinical research and takes steps toward actionable solutions.
