Welcome

At Ethnicity and Disease Research Center, we seek to integrate a multi-racial approach of medical and social science research, with the aim of embracing and servicing all clients. Central to our mission is eliminating research and health disparities among different ethnic groups.  We seek to facilitate the integration of multi-ethnic groups in healthcare research and help in closing the gap of ethnic healthcare disparities.  Consistent with these present needs, we offer a comprehensive and inclusive framework which will improve provider-patient relationships, improve quality of care, and also reduce costs. 

“To exclude any group, even involuntarily, is not equitable to the service and care our community deserves and expects from all of us.”

-Jean S.F. Bonnet, M.D.
Chief Executive Officer
