Presentation: The Journey to “Health for All”

Summary: Join Dr. Melissa Simon, MD, MPH, Director of Northwestern’s Center for Health Equity Transformation and the Health for All team for a lecture and panel discussion to learn more about their partnership with Chicago Public Library to help Chicagoans learn more about clinical trials. Health for All started as a paper-based tool and is now a robust online tool, making it more accessible.The Health for All tool helps support informed decisions about joining a clinical trial and can also help people find clinical trials that they might want to join. Working with members of the community and with project partners, Health for All has three goals: help people across Chicago learn about clinical trials; help libraries support people who want to learn about clinical trials; and do research to improve how libraries can help people learn about clinical trials. Health for All  was developed in partnership with the following institutions and organizations:

• Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
• Galter Health Sciences Library and Learning Center
• Chicago Public Library
• Chicago Department of Public Health
• University of Illinois Chicago
• University of Chicago

Objectives:

• Introduce the Center for Health Equity Transformation and the innovative Health for All partnership, and share team perspectives
• Share the development and implementation of the Health for All project.
• Describe lessons learned and new efforts that have emerged from this collaboration
