Welcome to the Clinical Research Department at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare
Developing new treatments through clinical research is an important part of improving the quality-of-life for those who trust their healthcare to the Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare system ( WFHC ). For this reason, WFHC participates in cutting edge research and clinical trials in a broad range of therapeutic areas, including: heart and vascular disease, diabetes, infectious disease, rheumatology and oncology. The Research Department is continually expanding its therapeutic reach through clinical research and is proud to provide this service to our patients and the community.
Clinical research is a keystone of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare's vision to reach the forefront of medical discovery. The Research Department provides managed infrastructure for physicians and the community to participate in clinical research.
Through clinical trials, physicians within the Wheaton system can offer emerging treatments to patients who may have limited treatment options.
