Cutting Edge Clinical Trials
"As an early-stage clinical trial research facility, North Star Lodge is conducting clinical trials on par with some of the largest and best-funded research centers in the United States," according to Dr. Thomas Boyd MD, board-certified in adult Hematology and Medical Oncology, and the Medical Director of U.S. Oncology clinical trials at Memorial's North Star Lodge. "Our lack of bureaucracy here often means we are able to offer clinical trial treatments to patients in Central Washington sooner than even the better known university facilities," he adds. "The trials that are done at North Star are very carefully managed. Patients do not need to go to a large center to receive cutting edge treatment. The best treatment available today is provided right here by our physicians."
Starting in 2009, North Star Lodge and The Memorial Foundation will begin a concentrated effort to obtain donations specifically designated for research. The establishment of a North Star Lodge Research Fund will ensure continued growth and excellence for this important component of cancer treatment.
