Health conditions

Patient-centric education can save your life.
Many of us are at high-risk for certain diseases, but don’t know it. Sometimes physicians aren’t aware either.

That is why CHMConnect brings leading medical experts directly to you—specialists who understand both the latest research and the cultural realities of the communities we are a part of.

Learn about the communities we work with and if you might be at high risk:

It is important to make our voices heard:

  • Our community is more likely to develop certain diseases because we are often not made aware of our risk factors, and those risks frequently go unmanaged.
  • We don’t always know to ask for or receive the screenings we need to detect diseases early, when they are easier to treat.
  • As a result, we are often diagnosed at later stages, when treatment options may be limited.
  • We may be treated differently because of our background, which can make it difficult to trust or fully understand the medical care we receive.
  • There are not enough of us represented in clinical trials, which is critical to ensuring that medical treatments and health care practices are effective for us.
