Healthcare Needs Diversity
At DHN, we are committed to ensuring clinical trials reflect the diversity of real-world populations, leading to better healthcare solutions for everyone. Clinical trials are essential for advancing medical research, but historically, many communities have been left out of this process. Our mission is to break down barriers, foster trust, and create opportunities for all individuals to participate in shaping the future of healthcare.
“Embracing diversity in clinical trials is not just a moral imperative; it is the cornerstone of transformative patient care and health equity - and a critical driver of business success. A truly representative drug development lifecycle ensures therapies are safe, effective, and accessible for all populations, addressing the unique needs and lived experiences of patients worldwide.
By aligning with patient-centricity and patient-focused drug development, organizations position themselves as leaders in delivering innovative, globally relevant solutions, driving sustainable growth while shaping a healthier, more equitable world.”

Advancing Diversity
in Clinical Trials
​
Our work is guided by three core pillars: Community Engagement, Culturally-Responsive Recruitment, and Participant Retention. These pillars inform every effort, from educating communities and creating culturally relevant outreach strategies to supporting participants throughout the trial process.
