Making a difference could be the same thing as helping
yourself when you participate in a clinical trial. The
benefits may include no cost office visits, procedures,
lab tests, screenings and medications. Clinical trials
can also provide early access to treatments not available
to the general public and a chance to improve the medical
care you receive.
At
FDC, we have an active Medical Research Program. We believe clinical
trials are a venue for our physicians, nurses, and care team
to partner with the community and contribute to improving medical
care and treatment throughout the world. Clinical Trials can
offer the patient an opportunity to receive a treatment that
is not yet available to the general public, a chance to contribute
to the advancement of medical care, or medical treatment at no
cost. Finding better treatments and new options in healthcare
by participating in clinical trials offers our physicians and
nurses a positive role in innovative healthcare.
Why
should you participate in a clinical trial?
- You
are suffering from a disease or condition for which an
effective treatment is not available
- You
want to improve treatment that is currently available
- To
receive treatment, x-rays, lab tests and care at no cost
to the patient
- To gain access
to a treatment before it is available to the general public
- To improve treatments
for an illness close to your heart for future generation
