How can we combat health disparities in GI?

Hear from Craig Munroe, MD, on why we all need to donate to AGA Giving Day, now through Dec. 3, in order to fund GI health disparities research.

“Health disparities exist and negatively impact patients every day across our country. Working to solve these inequities for the good of our patients and workforce is fundamental to our calling as physicians,” says Craig A. Munroe, MD, associate chief for clinical innovation, University of California, San Francisco, AGA Diversity Committee member, AGA Equity Project advisory board member. “Although we have made tremendous strides over the decades, there is still much more that needs to be done. Disparate systems of care and legacies of inequality continue to cause great harm.”

That is why AGA is bringing together the GI community to fund health disparity research with the goal of improving care for all patients. With contributions raised through AGA Giving Day campaign, the AGA Research Foundation will fund research projects that help us understand health disparities and create strategies for overcoming them.

“I’m donating to AGA Giving Day because I believe the work being done will have an immediate positive impact, and will continue to benefit future generations of patients, physicians, scientists, health providers, and trainees.”

Please join Dr. Munroe and your AGA colleagues in making a tax-deductible donation to the AGA Research Foundation to support AGA Giving Day today through Dec. 3. Contributors will be recognized as supporters of our fight to achieve equity and eradicate disparities in digestive diseases. www.Gastro.org/GivingDay
