Health inequities don’t exist in silos—and neither do the systems that create them. Where we live, how we access food, the schools we attend, and whether policies make care safe or risky all intersect to shape health outcomes long before anyone enters a clinic.

New resource page breaks down how food & housing, education & health literacy, and immigration & mobilization operate as connected systems—and what that means for communities working toward equity. This is about understanding structures so we can build smarter, more sustainable solutions.

Black History Month is about more than looking back; it's about building forward. And one of the most important places where that building can happen is clinical research.

For generations, Black communities have been excluded, exploited, or overlooked in medical research. That history is real. But so is the movement to change it, led by individuals, families, and communities who are showing up to ensure the future of medicine reflects everyone. When Black individuals are visible in clinical research, it leads to better data, safer treatments, and more equitable care for everyone. Representation is not symbolic. It is foundational. Improving research takes commitment from healthcare organizations, researchers, and communities working together to rebuild trust and drive real change.

Representation in research is not symbolic. It’s foundational.

Clinical studies or trials are the foundation of modern medicine. They test whether new drugs, devices, and treatments are safe and effective. Yet, for decades, Black Americans and other people of color have been underrepresented in these studies.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to highlight the voice of our SVP of Client & Sponsor Services, Lina Cruz.

“My heritage has taught me the value of community, resilience, and collaboration—principles that guide how I lead and help me connect with multicultural communities with empathy and authenticity, ensuring that every voice feels seen, heard, and valued. Through my work at HCN Global, I am proud to champion initiatives that elevate diverse voices and create meaningful opportunities for Latino communities. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to honor the strength, creativity, and passion that our communities bring to everything we do and encourage us to continue uplifting one another and building opportunities where every culture is celebrated and every voice matters.”

As we begin celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to highlight the voices of our leadership team at HCN Global.

With a steadfast commitment to equity, innovation, and impact, our COO, Ana Saraí Peña shares what this month means to her:

“My heritage has really shaped the way I lead. It taught me the value of community, resilience, and empathy, and that shows up in how I connect with diverse groups. Growing up in a culture that puts family and collective support first, I learned how important it is to create spaces where people feel seen and heard. For me, leadership is more than results, it’s about being adaptable, uplifting others, and honoring the richness everyone brings to the table.

Hispanic Heritage Month is about celebrating our roots, our resilience, and the incredible impact we continue to make. Let’s honor those who came before us by lifting each other up, sharing our stories proudly, and showing the world the strength and beauty of our comunidad.”

We were proud to be a sponsor of this year’s National Summit for Health Communication, hosted by the Society for Health Communication. The event brought together thought leaders, researchers, and changemakers to explore the future of our field, from building trust and embracing AI to translating theory into practice.

Our own LeShaundra Cordier was honored to attend and connect with peers committed to shaping a more equitable, innovative, and responsive health communication landscape. Thank you to the Society for creating space to reflect, recharge, and reimagine what’s next.

Latino and Black communities are underrepresented in blood donations—yet overrepresented in need. Campaigns that reflect cultural values can help close the gap.
