    Overview

    The Northwest Clinical Research Center (NWCRC) is one of the largest independent research sites dedicated to providing the highest quality medical research and care to our patients. We take exceptional pride in the care of our patients, as well as the integrity in the data provided to our sponsors. Research sponsored by NWCRC has been published in the best of medical journals and presented at national and international scientific meetings.

    Each patient receives psychological assessments and health evaluations by our medical staff. Our specialty is psychiatry and the treatment of mood disorders; however, we do conduct a variety of medical studies.
