This year’s summit introduces a first ever Clinical Trials Corner designed to demystify the clinical trials process and encourage participation, an essential step toward advancing health equity and ensuring that Black Americans have a seat at the table in groundbreaking medical research. Attendees will also have access to a Blueprint for Wellness Full Panel Blood Screening and other health assessments valued at over $1000—offered entirely free of charge.
Black Americans remain critically underrepresented in clinical trials, comprising only 5% of participants despite making up nearly 14% of the U.S. population. This lack of representation leads to inequities in treatment efficacy, missed opportunities for tailored medical breakthroughs, and continued health disparities. By launching the Clinical Trials Corner, Black Health Matters aims to bridge this gap, empowering attendees with knowledge, resources, and pathways to participate in research that reflects their unique health needs.

“Our summit isn’t just an event — it’s a call to action for Black communities to reclaim their health and rewrite their wellness stories,” said Roslyn Young Daniels, Founder and CEO of Black Health Matters. “When we educate ourselves about health disparities and take charge of prevention and care, we empower generations to thrive. This is how we break cycles, build healthier futures, and ensure that equity in healthcare is no longer a distant goal, but a living reality.”
