A former clinician and now research associate at Denver Health, Ileana Barron knows how research can change lives. She is a bilingual mother of a child with a complex medical condition and says her roles have led her to encourage participation in clinical research studies. “These things in my life story have made me passionate about working in research to improve care delivery, especially in underrepresented communities,” Barron said. Participants in our studies reflect our diversity: 66% of all patients currently enrolled in trials identify as either Hispanic or an underserved/minority demographic. Of that number, 43% identify as Hispanic. And 👇 💪 So far in 2024, Denver Health’s learning health system has *more than doubled* the number of patients enrolled in its clinical trials compared to all of 2023. 📖 Read Ileana's and our story in our patient newsletter Journeys. https://lnkd.in/eFw-vRqM 🔎 Explore the research we do at Denver Health https://lnkd.in/gCyu-kgY. #research #learninghealthsystem #equityinresearch
