IACT Health and Valley Healthcare System Partnership
Staff Report From Columbus CEO
Thursday, September 6th, 2018
IACT Health and Valley Healthcare System have combined forces to open a large dedicated research site inside the practice of Valley Healthcare. This research site will provide patients with access to clinical trials with treatment modalities unavailable outside of the clinical trial. Current and upcoming research trials are planned in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and internal medicine.
Patients at VHC will have the option to take advantage of cutting-edge medicine and break-through treatment options by combining standard of care with clinical research. Previously, patients of VHC who participated in trials were asked to make separate appointments and visit separate buildings to coordinate with IACT. By having IACT clinical coordinators located within VHC’s practice, patients can easily enroll and participate in trials to bring important advancements in the treatment and understanding of diseases.
