Clinical research supports healthcare providers to understand and improve our health by partnering with patients to prevent, diagnose and treat illness. The medicines, devices, tests, techniques, and technologies used in healthcare today were developed with patients who volunteered in clinical research studies.

What to Expect

People join clinical trials to learn more about their condition, gain access to cutting-edge treatments, expand their team of care providers, and advance medical research.

Participating in a research study is a personal and voluntary choice, often recommended by your healthcare provider. Potential volunteers are carefully screened to ensure they meet all study requirements, with safety being the primary concern for exclusion. If you are interested in a research study, our team will explain the details to help you decide if you would like to consent to participate.

Informed Consent

Before joining a clinical trial, it’s important to fully understand what participation involves. Informed consent ensures you know what the study is about, what’s expected of you, the potential risks and benefits, and how your information will be protected. Most importantly, participation is entirely your choice.

ER Wait Times

How are wait times calculated?

Our estimated ER wait times reflect the average time from check-in to being seen by a medical professional during triage, where patients are prioritized based on the severity of their condition.
