Research & Clinical Trials at Jupiter Medical Center
Advancing Medicine and Patient Care
An integral component of Jupiter Medical Center’s mission to improve the health and wellbeing of our community is providing patients access to clinical trials. Clinical trials are one of the most important weapons in the continuing fight against disease in addition to advancing all areas of medicine. These studies may offer patients the opportunity to receive new or potentially more effective therapies, as well as state-of-the-art approaches to treatment.
Deciding whether or not to enroll in a clinical trial involves careful consideration between patient and physician. Patient-centered, individualized discussion includes a detailed informed consent, eligibility screening and education of the benefits and possible risks related to the clinical trial. Study participants receive ongoing monitoring and follow-up by the research staff throughout their participation.
