Those who are eligible to participate in clinical trials face many barriers. Most times, cardiovascular clinical trials take place at the university setting or metropolitan medical centers and people who wish to participate are forced to relocate or drive long distances away from their family and supporters. Other barriers may be insurance, cost, or lack of education and understanding.
The Community Healthcare System Cardiovascular Research seeks to break down these barriers by making cardiovascular clinical research trials available in the community setting, so people can be treated close to home. Funding is used to help educate the community about the prevention, detection and treatment of heart disease, and the importance of clinical research.
Please consider Community Healthcare System Cardiovascular Research when giving charitably. You may make a donation in honor or memory of someone, or simply to help the cause. Or, you may participate in our Hearts of Hope program each winter holiday season. All donations are tax deductible.
