Community Healthcare Providers

An exciting era of medical breakthroughs is right around the corner. Do your patients have access?

Advanced Health Screenings and Clinical Trial Opportunities for Your Patients

Clinical research drives medical advancements—but traditional barriers limit patient access. Community physicians and healthcare professionals are the key to making medical innovations more widely available.

Care Access's community-based model makes it easy for medical practices to stay up to date on novel therapeutic discoveries and offer their patients opportunities typically limited to research centers and universities.

Advanced Health Screenings

By partnering with Care Access, your patients gain free access to numerous standard and specialized diagnostic tests through the Future of Medicine community health screening program. Eligible patients may receive advanced tests, such as Lp(a), pTau, FibroScan, or enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF).

Patients receive a copy of their test results along with educational resources to help them on their health journey.

Clinical Trials

Despite 86% of patients saying they want to learn about clinical trials, it can be difficult for them to find relevant trials nearby.

Medical practices that partner with Care Access play a pivotal role in expanding access to the promising medicines of tomorrow—driving medical innovation and progress for all.

You can help transform healthcare by bringing advanced diagnostic tests and clinical trials directly to your community, while generating revenue for your practice.

Community-Based Research

Historically, many communities have been left out of clinical trials. Expanding access to clinical research requires new ways of engaging patients and physicians. Care Access has developed an innovative model that creates access to research in nearly any community setting.

When more patients have opportunities to participate in research, the study results are more representative of real-world populations—creating a healthier future for everyone.
