DEI Special Edition Spring / Summer 2024
Several years after opening, the Covid pandemic raised fears around the world. The minority communities in this country suffered huge losses. It was during this time Michalle saw an opportunity to not only treat the community but to also educate the community. Michalle not only administered Covid vaccines she began educating the community about Covid preventative measures as well as the importance of clinical trials.
Michalle has always known the importance of increasing minority participation in clinical trials and after years of building a successful practice and gaining the trust of the community she is now launching her own clinical research site as an extension of Scenic City Wellness. Michalle has enlisted Colleen Canion to help with this endeavor. Colleen is an experienced clinical researcher who owned her own clinical research site for 10 years prior to working with Sanofi as a Scientific Affairs Medical Lead. Sanofi recently closed their Chattanooga operations leaving Colleen ready and available to work with Michalle to bring more clinical trials to the Chattanooga area. For Scenic City Wellness the circle is now complete. They have a state - of - the - art facility and a large database of patients, age 17 and above. Having built an excellent rapport by providing compassionate and empathetic care, Michalle, Colleen and the Scenic City Wellness staff are ready to do their part to advance diversity for the clinical trial patient population.
