Premiere of CHI Patient Perspectives Series

CHI released its premiere podcast episode of its CHI Patient Perspective Series. The series examines patient experiences throughout the healthcare continuum, and touches on topics ranging from access to information and care, to breakthrough research improving quality of life, to solutions to the problems of rising healthcare costs and bureaucracy.

In this premiere episode Loring Leeds, clinical trial participant at City of Hope, discusses his journey to find a cure for HIV and AIDS-related lymphoma, the biases he faced as a patient and the miracle turnaround he experienced in a clinical trial of an experimental treatment at City of Hope.
