clinical trials written and conducted by our physicians, as part of their commitment to providing the most up-to-date clinical care available.Our staff discusses all potential upcoming transplant patients at a weekly staff meeting. We assess each upcoming patient and talk about what protocols each patient may be eligible for. We then present clinical research treatment and support study options at family meetings between our staff and the potential patients.By offering these research opportunities, we are able to provide our patients and their families with cutting edge treatment options that are often not available at any other nearby treatment facility.
