Community Partnership
Benefits for Your Community
For too long, certain minorities have been underrepresented in clinical trials. This lack of diversity not only denies communities access to breakthrough investigational treatments, it also hinders our understanding of how different populations may respond to new treatments, ensuring they are safe and effective for all.
Care Access is making clinical studies more accessible and inclusive for everyone. We bring research opportunities directly to your community, setting up mobile screening and research sites in convenient locations to ensure everyone can benefit from medical advancements.
Building for Future Generations
Our commitment to communities extends beyond access to health research. We're dedicated to seeing each community improve their overall health. We focus on building strong foundations that not only benefit the current needs of your community but also pave the way to help its future generations thrive.
How We Partner
Every community is unique, which is why our approach is never a one-size-fits-all solution. We start by asking, "How can we help?" We listen to your needs, support you with resources, and amplify your voice. We focus on capacity building efforts to support the health-related needs and challenges you’ve identified as important for your community.
Our collaborative approach enables us to work side-by-side with a variety of organizations to create meaningful change across the country.

Renée collaborated with Care Access, leveraging the power of art to advance our mission for better health for all. The mural symbolizes the transformative change that Care Access is driving in the world of health research.
Lorri Ann Two Bulls, Oglala Lakota Artist

Known for her Owicakapte ("I survived”) doll pins, her work is rich with symbols of survival and resilience.
