The Clinical Research Center at Central Baptist facilitates the research efforts of physicians by taking on much of the administrative burden of managing clinical trials, allowing doctors to focus on the science. The CRC helps to ensure that studies are in compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations and that the appropriate patient safeguards are in place. The Center can interface with industry sponsors on behalf of the physician and perform a full range of other services, both administrative and clinical. And because it's part of a community-based hospital, the CRC can generally respond to the needs of physicians and their patients in a timely fashion. This emphasis on research has allowed Central Baptist to greatly expand the number of clinical trials being conducted at the hospital over the past year.
Exciting studies are currently underway in the fields of cardiology, oncology, neurology and more.
The CRC's goal is to continue evolving into a truly comprehensive, multidisciplinary research facility, providing the residents of central and eastern Kentucky with a wealth of new treatment options and giving area doctors the opportunity to remain on the cutting edge of their fields. The Clinical Research Center at Central Baptist is actively seeking opportunities to work with physicians and other healthcare professionals from all disciplines on a wide variety of research endeavors. The garden is the result of months of work and planning by Central Baptist fundraisers and planners. Nearly all of the breathtaking landscaping and special objects that will be featured were donated by thoughtful community members who shared in the vision and spirit of the project. The flora will include trees, blooming shrubs and an exceptional variety of English flowers.
