DCR's new facility encompasses 35,000 square feet and will be physically connected to St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, Colo. The 80-bed facility will create more than fifty specialized research jobs and will increase DCR's physical capacity from 42 to 122 beds in North America. The facility will support high-risk studies and will have an expanded ability to support both patient and healthy volunteer Phase I clinical studies.
"These significant investments in talent signify our commitment to be a leader in the early clinical research space," said Kevin Goudreau, DCR vice president of commercial development. "DaVita Clinical Research will continue to explore opportunities to both expand our patient-driven leadership position and diversify our ability to conduct critical research in healthy normal volunteers."
