Access to Health-care Research
Every year, Loyola physicians conduct clinical research on new treatments that may prove ground-breaking for breast cancer, osteoporosis, bladder control and dozens of other conditions. You may qualify to take part in this research and have access to medications or procedures that are not yet available to the general population. Even if you do not participate in a trial, you will be cared for by a team of specialists that has the most current knowledge of treatment developments in these specialties.
