Advanced Clinical Research Institute (ACRI) initiates and
conducts about 75 new clinical research trials on an annual basis.
Our sites are located within two well known hospitals and a
community clinic, allowing us the opportunity to set up a huge
referral network amongst other physicians located in and around the
community. In addition, Orange County has a population of 2.6
million people, giving us access to an enormous and diverse patient
base, including a large minority population.
Our Research Sites:
While our multiple sites gain us a strong advantage in accessibility, we also provide transportation services to assure ease of compliance. To further secure the success of our trials, we maintain a bilingual staffing commitment at all sites.
