It is with great pride that we announce; First HealthUrgent Care is now a clinical research participant looking to advance medicine and clinical development, through clinical trials. Our goal is to go the extra mile for our patients while offering them access to treatments and medications they otherwise wouldn’t have access too. We are proud to be involved in a state-of-the-art program in which we can work to better help our patients while advancing the scientific studies of medicine.
Our clinical research program will help the medical community in many ways. We will be assisting in the creation of better medications, vaccines, and a healthier New Orleans! We are participating in hopes that our research will further the understanding of the vital role that Urgent Care Centers and Walk-In Clinics play in healthcare, and also into the future.
Question: What are the benefits and risks of participating in a clinical trial?
Answer:
There are both benefits and risks associated with clinical trials. By participating in a clinical trial, you may benefit by:
-
gaining access to new treatments that are not yet available to the public
-
obtaining expert medical care at a leading health care facility

playing an active role in your own health care
-
helping others by contributing to medical research
Clinical trials may also have risks:
-
there may be unpleasant, serious or even life-threatening side effects from treatment

treatment may not be effective for some individuals

the study may require a lot of time for traveling to the study site, receiving treatments, or hospital stays
