Clinical trials are hard. We make it easy.
About Us
Our Mission
To increase awareness and access to clinical trials by developing straightforward, cost-effective models for healthcare systems and physicians.
Why we're here
“I began my research career at a university and eventually moved to a hospital. All along the way it became clear to me that the clinical trial process was broken and heaped unnecessary burden on physicians. It also excluded community physicians.
I set out to create a model that reduced physician overload while bringing more physicians to the table. Now more than ever we need more doctors participating in clinical trials and it needs to be as simple as possible so that they can continue to do what they love: treat their patients.”
How It Works
We make clinical trials more accessible by enabling physicians to offer clinical trials in their practice and communities. Offering clinical trials can be confusing, costly, and time-consuming…
WE’RE HERE TO REMOVE THAT BURDEN
We handle everything from study startup to study closeout with no cost to the physician or health system. Study revenue is split between Hightower Clinical and our providers. We provide any research-specific equipment and manage every detail of the clinical trial process.
Patients have access to clinical trials through their trusted doctors, physicians generate a new revenue stream for their practice and new treatments are brought to market through quality research.
WIN-WIN-WIN
