Care Access is inviting the community to learn more about their health and how it can play a role in shaping the future of health care. The organization will discuss its "Future of Medicine" program and how individuals can participate in clinical research studies they may be eligible for and interested in.
Care Access is looking for individuals to take part in a medical screening that could save lives. They are looking for those who are underserved in clinical trials, such as the African-American and Hispanic populations, to be screened for a specific type of cholesterol known as lipoprotein (a). It can affect 1 in every 5 people, and for African Americans, it can be 1 in every 3. It's part of the 'bad' cholesterol, and elevated levels of it can put individuals three times more at risk for heart disease and stroke.
