Associated Neurologists, PC was established in 1971 as a private medical practice. The staff includes eight board certified neurologists, two master's level nurse practitioners, two certified research coordinators, two research assistants, four doctoral level neuropsychologists and two eeg/ekg technologists. It is located in a smoke-free building in a mid-sized western Connecticut city, population 74k. Danbury Hospital, a 371-bed community hospital is less than 1 mile away and serves the needs of approximately 360,000 residents of western Connecticut and southeastern New York.

The mission of clinical research at Associated Neurologists is to offer an additional form of treatment to patients, which may not otherwise be available. The research team strives to provide the highest quality of care for patients involved in clinical studies, treating each patient as an individual with unique concerns and needs. We protect the rights, welfare and safety of all research subjects by following Good Clinical Practice Standards, upholding established FDA regulations for drug research at clinical sites, and ensuring that the data collected are of the highest quality and integrity. Confidentiality is further ensured by the location of a secured area for CRF and source documentation record retention. CPR certified research staff, basic life support equipment in the research area and proximity within five minutes to the local hospital's emergency department further ensures patient safety.
