LA JOLLA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Please join CHI-California Healthcare Institute as we release the first
installment of a new podcast series, Patient Perspectives. The series will
examine patient experiences throughout the healthcare continuum, and touch on
topics ranging from access to information and care, to breakthrough research
improving quality of life, to solutions to the problems of rising healthcare
costs and bureaucracy. 

In the premiere episode of this podcast series, which will launch on Wednesday,
April 29, Loring Leeds, clinical trial participant at City of Hope, discusses
his journey to find a cure for HIV and AIDS-related lymphoma, the biases he
faced as a patient and the miracle turnaround he experienced in a clinical trial
of an experimental treatment at City of Hope. 

To download the podcast, visit www.chi.org or download it on iTunes and other
podcast directories. New installments of the podcast will be launched regularly
and will be available on the CHI Web site for convenient listening.
