Access Patients in Their Communities
Hawthorne Health is a community-based site network designed to support enrollment, retention, and execution.
Access changes everything.
Hawthorne Health is a pharmacy-based site network designed to support CROs, like ICON, seeking to expand patient access through community-based clinical research across vaccine, infectious disease, rheumatology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and dermatology studies.
Our model engages patients through trusted healthcare settings, including clinics, pharmacies, and affiliated community care locations across the United States. Centralized operational oversight and standardized workflows support protocol-compliant execution while helping reduce barriers to participation and retention.
Pharmacy-Based Site Network
Built to reach patients traditionally excluded from existing research models, Hawthorne Health brings clinical trials to the heart of communities through a nationwide network of pharmacy-based sites.
Familiar settings and convenient locations help to reduce barriers to participation while improving patient retention and study outcomes.
Proposed Network Overview
We have identified a set of community-based sites and investigators aligned to support your pipeline, selected based on:
Existing patient flow within relevant populations
Established care relationships in local communities
Geographic distribution to support enrollment coverage
Ability to support both site-based and lower-burden visit structures
Hawthorne Site Demographics
Community Trial Solutions
Connecting ICON to community-based care environments patients already utilize every day.
