Community Forum

The CDU Community Forum

Our next Community Forum will focus on Aging and Elder Care in Diverse Communities. The discussion will center on unique challenges faced by older adults in minority communities, including access to senior care and support services.

The CDU Community Forum is a free monthly virtual forum where medical experts and community leaders discuss key issues impacting under-resourced communities. The forum is moderated by Sylvia Drew Ivie, daughter of Charles R. Drew. The event features guest panelists along with Dr. David M. Carlisle, President, and CEO of CDU, as a recurring panelist.

This series is not just a reflection of the past; it is a call to action. It is an acknowledgment of the social inequities that Dr. Drew challenged and a commitment to continue his fight to ensure equitable healthcare for all, irrespective of race or economic status. Each session is designed to stir conversation, inspire change, and drive innovation in our community’s approach to healthcare.
