Grammy-Award Winner Kuk Harrell

Today on The Caregiver Dave Celebrity Segment, Dave and Neil Haley will interview Grammy-Award Winner Kuk Harrell.

City of Hope’s Health Justice Council will host the inaugural Dine In for Health Justice, a month-long virtual event designed as a CALL TO ACTION to help raise awareness and funds for crucial health care issues facing communities of color. This event will go on throughout the month of October and the Dine In encourages friends and family to organize virtual dine-in parties where participants are asked to contribute equal to or greater than what they would spend dining out.
 
City of Hope – which has existed for 107 years and is the leading cancer hospital in the West  -- is working to ensure health equity and justice in medical research, clinical trials, and precision medicine. National statistics have consistently revealed health inequalities in hospitals and health systems around the country. Mortality rates in the Black community exceed Caucasians by 40% for cerebrovascular disease, 13% for cancer and diabetes is an epidemic in the LatinX community.  It’s estimated that more than one out of 10 people over the age of 20 has diabetes.
Anyone can hold a virtual Dine-In! Upon registering to host a meal, hosts will receive a brief video to play for their guests with crucial information from City of Hope.  The video will feature words from co-chairs Cheryl Boone Isaacs (CBI Enterprises and former President of AMPAS), Spectrum News anchor Giselle Fernandez, actor/philanthropist/restaurateur Danny Trejo as well as City of Hope’s Dr. Rick Kittles and personal testimonials from  Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts.
