KPFK Conversation Piece Bone Marrow Registry, Another Health Gap with Angelia Wilson and Gwen Woods

On Conversation Piece today…Meet my guests: Angie Wilson, the president of the Council of Black Nurses Los Angeles Chapter, and Gwen Woods, who will share why she is a fierce bone marrow advocate and community activist with a personal story about her grandson, Eric Alexander. Did you know that Black patients are less likely to find a bone marrow match due to low representation on the bone marrow registry? July is designated as African American Bone Marrow Month, and my guests say don’t wait until July for a simple cheek swab to save a life. But first we have a Sister Charlene Muhammad with a news report. Welcome to Conversation Piece!
