Why Participate?

Did you know that most medicines available today would not be possible without the contribution of clinical research volunteers? That includes treatment for diseases like childhood leukemia, which is now curable in 70% of cases. One-half as many men die due to coronary heart disease as did 40 years ago. The five year breast cancer survival rate has increased to 88%. Each day, research discovers new information about diseases and their treatment. By participating in clinical research, you may help solve a piece of the puzzle in the discovery of new medicines that can improve the lives of people in your community and around the world. If you or someone close to you is considering giving the gift of participation, contact Fox Valley Clinical Research Center (FVCRC) to learn more about the exciting research opportunities available to qualifying participants.
