A new vision for our healthcare system
Our goal is to engage every healthcare professional in clinical research and to make clinical trials a care option for every patient

Making Research Accessible. Before new medications are made available to the public, they must undergo a rigorous scientific testing process. Only the few that can continue to accumulate evidence of their safety and efficacy throughout the entire process, which starts in the laboratory and proceeds up through clinical trials with patient volunteers, are allowed to continue on the path to FDA approval. Care Access is working to make this process better, faster and more efficient.

Let's be partners. A select group of doctors across the United States have partnered with Care Access to help bring the most promising drugs through the final stages before FDA approval. The patients that choose to volunteer for a clinical trial usually are provided with additional clinic visits, diagnostic procedures and the investigational medicines at no cost. Reimbursement is often paid to study participants for their time and travel to study visits. LEARN MORE HERE
