Simply complete the form to schedule a brief introductory call. During this call, we will learn more about your personal experience and the story you wish to share.

If you are selected to participate in the CHMConnect patient story project, we will schedule a longer 1-hour virtual interview with you.

All patients are considered individually. We are looking for patients of color whose personal health care experience can help others in our communities.

Themes may include but are not limited to:

• Your experience in a clinical trial
• Your experience as a patient and your health care journey
• Advice you have for others in your community
• Sharing an experience where you may have been treated differently because of your background
• Challenges with language or other cultural barriers
• Your experience as a caregiver or family member
• Anything else you want to share about your/your loved one’s care journey

Yes. Patients who are selected to participate in the 1-hour interview will be paid $150 for their time. The amount varies by project.

A typical interview lasts approximately 1 hour but may be slightly shorter or longer depending on the subject.

Interviews will not exceed 1.5 hours. Compensation will be the same regardless of time.

We prefer that you have a computer, laptop, or smartphone so video conferencing software, such as Zoom, can be used.

We understand that not everyone has access to these devices, so phone interviews may be considered in certain cases.

We prefer that you have access to reliable home internet.

We understand that not everyone has access to home internet, so other options or phone interviews may be considered in certain cases.

We may include your recorded interview online in our CHMConnect patient stories project.

The purpose of the CHMConnect patient story project is to improve the health care experience for patients of color through storytelling and shared experiences. The video may be edited for quality and length.

Details on the CHMConnect Ambassador program will be released shortly.
