SCHEQ Founder recently appeared on the Sharegiving Secret #podcast w/ Deborah G to discuss early caregiving, health equity, and why caregivers need real time advocacy and community support. 👀 here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS86... #SCHEQ #HealthEquity #CaregiverSupport #PatientAdvocacy #Caregivers

SCHEQ Foundation featured on the Empowered Patient #Podcast hosted by Karen Jagoda. Founder & CEO Dr. Eugene Manley, Jr. discusses workforce diversity, lung cancer #disparities, and equitable access to clinical trials. 🎧 Listen: empoweredpatientradio.com/addressing-h... #healthequity #workforce

Resilient pipelines include external mentors. Multiple perspectives reduce harm.

Scaling equity requires infrastructure, trust, and time. Are we funding outcomes or the systems that sustain them?

SCHEQ Foundation’s Founder & CEO joined The Jali #Podcast to discuss equity beyond intentions. This episode (#181) focuses on accountability, representation in research, patient advocacy, and community-centered solutions. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6nm... Learn more: scheq.org

Engagement shares power. Extraction collects credibility. What remains in the community after the work ends?

SCHEQ’s Dr. Eugene Manley Jr. joined Voices That Propel Us #podcast to talk plain-language health tools, patient advocacy, chart accuracy, lung cancer disparities, and why STEMM access is upstream health equity work. 🎧 tinyurl.com/DSugitaManley #SCHEQ #HealthEquity #HealthLiteracy #podmatch

Mentorship helps, but structure sustains. Workforce equity requires systems that don’t collapse when one person leaves.

Dr. Manley Jr. joined Life & In Between (Diana & Patrick): “When the System Doesn’t See You.” A practical conversation on patient advocacy, mistrust built from real experiences, and AI risks when data & leadership lack representation. 👀https://tinyurl.com/LAIBManley #SCHEQ #HealthEquity #podmatch

When systems are complicated, burden shifts to patients and caregivers. Equity requires systems that work for real life. What process would you simplify first to reduce burden?

Dr. Eugene Manley Jr. discussed systemic bias in cancer care, early detection barriers, and how community education and STEMM representation can drive change. Check out The BioInventors #Podcast #podmatch #cancer #cancerscreening #stemcareers 🎧 Listen → bioinventors.buzzsprout.com/2315496/18450033

Equity initiatives work when barriers are named early and supports are built into the design. Question: what does success require from the community, and what supports make that realistic?

“Noncompliance” is often a signal: the plan wasn’t realistic or understandable. SCHEQ treats communication as an intervention: plain language + navigation. What improved follow through most in your setting?

Clinical trial diversity is a design challenge. Are systems built for participation or convenience? What support would improve participation most: transport, childcare, scheduling, or communication?

SCHEQ Founder Dr. Eugene Manley Jr., PhD was featured on The Elisha Show #podcast in Health Equity in Action. Topics: medical racism, patient advocacy, STEM access, lung cancer equity. Health equity must be actionable. 🎧 tinyurl.com/TESMANLEY #podmatch #nonprofitfounder #nonprofitleadership

In cancer care, complexity becomes a barrier. SCHEQ treats complexity reduction as equity: navigation support, clear info, trusted partnerships. What process would you simplify tomorrow?

Workforce diversity needs financially realistic pathways. Unpaid labor and hidden costs exclude talent. What cost barrier do institutions underestimate?

Health info works when people can use it. SCHEQ focuses on literacy + navigation + partnerships so the next step is realistic. What barrier does your community face that programs overlook?

Equity is a responsibility, not a slogan. SCHEQ Founder & CEO Dr. Eugene Manley Jr. joined Everything’s Not Black and White #podcast to discuss medical racism, patient advocacy, and measurable systems change. 🎧https://tinyurl.com/ENBWManley #HealthEquity #HealthcareReform #STEMM #PatientVoice

Navigation affects outcomes. Transportation, insurance confusion, language access, language access, delayed referrals, caregiver burnout. What barrier do you wish decision makers would address urgently?

Visibility matters, but it is not the finish line. Equity becomes real when funding, hiring, promotion, mentorship, and accountability structures change.

Workforce diversity requires navigation. Structured mentorship replaces hidden rules with clear milestones, multiple mentors, and transparent expectations. Clarity is equity.

Happy New Year from SCHEQ. In 2026 we are focused on building what holds up: health literacy, navigation support, workforce pathways, and partnerships that listen and act.

Health literacy matters, but it is not a shield. Systems should be safe and understandable for everyone, not only navigable for people with insider knowledge.

Innovation becomes impact only when people can access it. SCHEQ focuses on the “how” behind access: health literacy, navigation, and trusted partnerships that reduce delays and missed care. Equity lives in the details.

Awareness alone rarely changes outcomes. SCHEQ focuses on infrastructure: health literacy, navigation support, and trusted community partnerships so people can act on information, not just receive it.

For many #NYC #Medicaid patients, Medical Answering Service (MAS) is the bridge to care. When it works, it helps. When it fails, patients can miss appointments. We published a simple guide on what MAS is and how it works. tinyurl.com/SCHEQMAS #HealthEquity #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareAccess

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season.

Our Founder was recently on the Entrepreneurship 101 podcast hosted by Daniel Lucas. This episode looks at how an one’s beliefs, habits of thought, emotional discipline, and self-awareness directly influences #leadership behavior, #risktolerance, and strategic judgment. tinyurl.com/Ent101EMJ

We attended the HEALing In The Bronx Lung Cancer Community event on Saturday. It was great to see so many patients, caregivers, and survivors. Great job putting it together Colette.

Natalie Brown will be the next guest on the Just Breathe: SCHEQing on Lung Cancer free webinar series on 12/15 from 3:15 - 4 PM (ET). She will be discussing her lung cancer journey and her double lung transplant. #LCSM #lungcancer #lungcancertransplant Here is the link: tinyurl.com/SCHEQJBSLC5

🎙️ Just wrapped a fantastic conversation with Daniel Lucas. We looked at AI's impact on healthcare. The conversation took some fascinating turns, especially when we explored: "How AI algorithms might miss diverse populations, affecting early disease detection." Full episode is coming soon!

Our Founder was on the Unveiling Journeys #Podcast by Tiffany Alexander. Episode 101 was "Closing the Gap in Cancer Care: Equity, STEM & Data That Saves Lives". They discussed: ✅ Academia and Career navigation ✅ Health disparities ✅ The work at @scheq.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fp8...

Who counts as a “professional” now? Recent US loan rule changes keep a tiny list of fields (medicine, law, etc.) as “professional” and push out nursing, SLP, social work, education, public health + more. That shrinks equity-focused career pipelines. #healthequity #studentloans #STEMM

Thanks Jasmine Smith at BlackDoctor for the write up of our Patient Experience in Lung Cancer Panel at the 3rd SCHEQ Lung Cancer Interventions Summit. One memorable quote was "They all had lives before lung cancer. Now their lives are different". blackdoctor.org/5-lessons-fr...

Part of our why is helping diverse and underserved patients navigate medical care, #advocate for care they are entitled to, and how to address #medicalracism.

What is one reason we were founded? To help underserved populations navigate care and battle #medicalracism.

It is #lungcancerawarenessmonth.

Dr. Watson gave a great keynote that discussed the pos and cons of the NLST trials and the importance of representation in studies. He also weaved in lived experience , #communityengagebeht, and how data can drive policy decisions at #SCHEQ #LCIS2025

We had a great #Patient Perspectives Panel that was moderated by Angela James. Thanks Ruby, Juanita, Natalie, and Dave for telling your stories. One big takeaway was that each of them had a different life before #lungcancer. #LCIS2025 #SCHEQ @emanleyjr.bsky.social

We want to thank our Jim Pantelas and Dr. Kennedy for kicking off our first full session of our 3rd Lung Cancer Interventions Summit. They discussed challenges in #SCLC and that US Veterans face. @emanleyjr.bsky.social

Jim gave a great summary of the challenges that US Veterans face navigating #lungcancer. One big takeaway is that the decisions on who is "exposed" to carcinogens can change based on location. #LCIS2025 #SCHEQ
