Community Research

The Board of Directors and the Executive Director of GCRC recognize the importance of African American participation in medical research and clinical trials. Through partnerships with UCLA, USC, Healthy African American Families, Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and Lincoln Memorial Church, we engage our residents’ health and wellness awareness by participation in pilot studies and clinical trials such as cancer, autism, hypertension, diabetes, mental health and COVID-19. Awareness of prevention helps to lessen the effect of the health disparities that stubbornly beleaguer our community.

GCRC participated in a UCLA clinical study on how to reduce the risk of colon cancer with exercise and by eating a healthy diet, of lean meat, fish, fresh fruit and vegetables so that our people can live long and healthy lives.

We are committed to the advancement of the health and well-being of Black people whether they are a family, individuals or seniors through health education, empowerment, and advocacy.
