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.
