Research is an integral part of an academic medical center.
The acquisition of new knowledge about health and disease provides the foundation for advances in medicine. At Bassett Healthcare's Research Institute, staff bring the latest biomedical advances and introduce new concepts and technologies that ultimately translate into improved patient care. Research programs provide new diagnostic procedures and treatments which are only available on an investigational basis prior to release for general use. In addition, an active research program provides a stimulating and exciting environment that attracts high quality clinical staff, thereby enhancing the quality of patient care. The Research Institute of Bassett Healthcare brings diverse programs together in a single unit, fostering collaboration across disciplines and leading to innovative approaches to the study of health and disease.
