What will my research experience be like at EvergreenHealth?

Click to view

Here's what you can expect if your EvergreenHealth physician refers you to a clinical trial:

During the clinical trial, you may have additional lab tests, physical exams or procedures than you would normally receive for your care; this additional work is done to keep track of your progress on the trial. If these items are beyond the scope of your regularly scheduled care, we will seek payment from the research sponsor so you are not charged a fee.

Clinical trial medications may be involved, depending on the study. If during the course of the trial the study doctor determines that your risk of participating outweighs the benefit of being on the trial, they may choose to terminate your participation. This is done to ensure the highest patient safety standards.

We understand participating in clinical trials requires time and effort on your end, so we work with each research sponsor to provide a small stipend to pay for incidental costs you may incur. Stipends are not guaranteed and are variable on each study.
