Clinical trials are research studies that create the opportunity for medical experts and patients to partner together and examine new ways to prevent, treat, and control disease. With patient safety as priority, a team of specialists and research coordinators closely assess the patient’s needs and work together to find solutions through breakthrough treatments. These often transform patients’ lives through innovation and ultimately contribute to the widespread use and accessibility of the new treatment. While cancer often comes to mind, the Logan Health Research Department also coordinates clinical trials in the specialties of cardiology, rheumatology, pulmonology, and endocrinology.
