VCSA x World Voices Media: Community Health Conversation Recap VCSA teamed up with@worldvoicesmedia for an inspiring dialogue on “Diversity in Medical Research”—and what a success it was! Highlights: Dr. Anhlan Nguyen led a powerful discussion on the underrepresentation of AAPI communities in clinical trials and shared strategies for improving equity in health research. Over 25 community members joined us—from students and healthcare professionals to faith leaders—each committed to closing the participation gap. Participants brainstormed practical outreach ideas, including bilingual education campaigns and community partnerships, to boost trial awareness. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part—your questions, insights, and passion will drive real change in our community’s health outcomes. And special thanks to World Voices Media for their collaboration and to all who made this conversation possible! Missed the event? Stay tuned for future meet-ups, volunteer opportunities, and resources! Together, we’ll ensure our community’s voices are heard in every aspect of healthcare. (fb)
