Federally Qualified Health Centers and Community Health Workers are vital in reaching underserved populations, often serving as the first point of contact for healthcare in these communities. By partnering with these trusted entities, the REACH Consortium can bridge the gap between clinical research and underrepresented groups, ensuring that clinical trials are more inclusive and reflective of the populations they aim to serve. This session is crucial as it highlights the role of grassroots partnerships in advancing health equity and showcases effective models that can be replicated in other regions.
