SCHEQ Foundation was recently featured on the Life & In-Between Podcast in an episode titled “When the System Doesn’t See You.” Hosts Diana and Patrick sat down with Dr. Eugene Manley Jr., PhD, Founder & CEO of SCHEQ, for a candid conversation about what happens when patients feel dismissed by the healthcare system.
In this episode, Dr. Manley discusses why medical mistrust is built through real lived experiences, what it looks like to advocate for yourself in appointments and hospital settings, and the promise and risk of AI in healthcare – especially when underserved communities are not represented in the data or decision-making. This episode also touched on leadership and creating your own spaces with those that support and amplify you, as opposed to fitting in organizations that will not let you grow or be authentic.
The conversation also highlights SCHEQ’s mission to improve outcomes for underserved populations navigating the cancer care continuum through health literacy, advocacy, and system-level solutions.
