Women's Clinic of Lincoln, P.C. is a private practice clinic that specializes in obstetrics and gynecology. With over 25,000 active patients, we have been in practice since 1973 and conducting Phase II, III, and IV studies since 1994. We strive to successfully meet the ever changing health needs of women. Our integrated system of care is designed to promote optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual health for women throughout their life span. We view our relationship with our patients and our sponsors as a special partnership. Our patients will always be our first priority as we strive to achieve excellence in women's health care and clinical research. In addition, we recently opened Family Health Care Center as a division of Women's Clinic. Family Health Care Center emphasizes disease prevention and health promotion for all age groups. Our ability to combine research with a well established private practice results in rapid recruitment, quality data since all components of the study are done under one roof, and a professional working relationship for both patients and sponsors. Our mission is to help sponsors meet their goals with the highest standards in efficiency and reliable data while upholding medical and ethical guidelines.
