The team here at Charlottesville Medical Research (CMR) has much to be proud of when it comes to the proverbial tooting of one’s own horn. A desire for safer, more effective therapies drives our clinical research office, backed by the completion of hundreds of successful trials. But we’re not stopping there. Each quarter, we also sew contributions both in time and via financial gift back into local programs working to better our communities. We are shining a spotlight on other ways CMR is making a difference.
Advancing Medicine, Creating Hope
The research studies we conduct help individuals on a local and global scale. We feel very fortunate to help our local areas through various initiatives. This is part of our promise to improve lives.
“At CMR, we try and help our community by donating quarterly to those who may need our help in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas”- Paula Clark, Regulatory Specialist and CRA/Sponsor Outreach Liaison.
