Private consultation and assessment areas, examination rooms, ECG, vital signs, phlebotomy, and protocol-trained procedure support.
Specimens & investigational product
Refrigerated centrifugation, refrigeration and freezer capacity, temperature-controlled investigational-product storage, and restricted-access supplies. Confirm protocol-specific requirements and qualification records during feasibility.
Monitoring & documentation
Dedicated monitor and conference workspace, wireless access, print/scan support, and controlled access to electronic source and regulatory records. Paper source can be maintained when a study requires it.
The Borderland is part of the study context.
Local understanding matters in recruitment and retention.
El Paso serves a substantial Hispanic/Latino community at the U.S.–Mexico border. Our site connects study conversations with local physician relationships, bilingual participant support, and community outreach.
We assess the recruitment plan for each protocol rather than assuming that a regional population number translates into eligible participants.
Our community approachStart a useful feasibility conversation.
Share your organization, therapeutic area, study phase, anticipated timeline, and the site requirements you want to discuss. We can arrange the appropriate exchange of protocol documents and qualification materials.
