Encore Research

“Doing our part” for clinical research involves a number of different types of evaluations. One of the most interesting elements of research involves a Phase I evaluation. In this phase of research, patients have the opportunity to work closely with staff and physicians to determine whether a new product or therapy fits a specific medical condition. For patients, these programs generally offer a higher rate of compensation.

JCCR proudly announces that we have been selected as a Phase I research site for several state-of-the-art treatments for congestive heart failure and multiple sclerosis.

Please contact us if you or someone you know would qualify to participate in one of our Phase I programs and become a part of a possible future breakthrough!

Godiva chocolate?  No. Hershey’s kiss?  No. Whitman’s Sampler?  No.

Of all the wonderful candies that are marketed especially for Valentine’s Day, my very favorite by far are conversation hearts. You know, the old-school ones that are kinda chalky? My family makes fun of me about this. In fact, after all this time they won’t even indulge me anymore by letting me read the pithy phrases out loud with enthusiasm.

As most of us know, February is American Heart Month and there are numerous reminders and tips for heart health in the media and in coordinated public events. For Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research, however, heart health is part of who we are every day of the year. Our contributions to cardiovascular research have put us ahead of our peers in the research world, and we take pride in the fact that many research programs involving novel therapies are offered exclusively at our sites in the early phases of development.

So, what if we developed our own line of JCCR conversation hearts? What would they say?

Don’t stress……. Your treadmill is calling…..Laugh more…… Stop smoking…….Go vegan…… Put down that french fry!..... Know your risk factors……Love your heart….

So, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’d like to challenge you to make heart health part of your everyday routine. For yourself and for your sweetheart.  Call us today to see how we can encourage you to do just that.
