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 sponsors, like Merck, seeking to expand patient access through community-based clinical research across dermatology, neurology, respiratory, vaccine, and cardio-metabolic 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
