(HERC), established in 1999, is an independent, multi-specialty research site that conducts clinical trials for major research pharmaceutical companies for new and approved medications that are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and an Ethical Review Board (IRB). We are proud in helping these companies provide patients with safe and effective medications.
Clinical Research is essential to understanding diseases, improving treatment methods and providing alternative therapies for patients. Caring, focus and dedication is the pathway to making a difference in the clinical research industry.
