New medical treatments cannot improve health outcomes for everyone if clinical trials do not reflect the people most affected by a disease.

Clinical trials help doctors determine whether new treatments are safe and effective.

For example:

• Black men are 70% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from it, yet they account for less than 13% of participants in prostate cancer clinical trials.

• Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, yet women make up less than half of participants in heart disease clinical trials.

Scientific research is not one-size-fits-all. The broader population must be represented.

Here's what we know about representation in clinical trials:
- If clinical trials don't represent everyone, serious side effects may go unnoticed until after approval.
- People respond differently to medications. Without diverse trials, doctors may not know if a treatment works for all.
- Language, culture, travel, and awareness barriers can make joining trials harder.
- When clinical trials include people from a wide range of backgrounds, research becomes stronger, and care is more likely to improve for all.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage, resilience, and compassion that emerged in the days that followed.🇺🇸

These photographs capture memorabilia and messages displayed in our Burn Unit, including heartfelt drawings and notes sent by children from around the world to support the caregivers and patients affected by the tragedy.

More than two decades later, these keepsakes remain a powerful reminder of hope, unity, and the enduring human spirit.
