Overview

Clinical Partners is a dedicated multispecialty phase 2 to 4 research site conveniently located in Johnston, R.I., on the Atwood Medical Center Campus (southern New England's largest free-standing medical facility.) With more than 100 physicians accounting for more than 2,500 patient visits per day, Clinical Partners has substantial access to physicians for rapid enrollment, support and expertise.

Clinical Partners collaborates with an acute care hospital and subacute care facility and has a research agreement with a leading acute care hospital in the greater Providence, R.I., area.
