MIDWEST CHILDREN’S HEALTH RESEARCH INSTITUTE

With access to over 25,000 of Complete Children’s Health active patients as well as the attention of a large referral region (Nebraska’s population is approximately 1.7 million people with over 1.2 million of those living within a 50 mile radius of Lincoln), MCHRI has had and will continue to have the ability to recruit a wide variety of pediatric patients for drug, vaccine, formula, and general consumer product studies. This ability to recruit is enhanced by the wide variety of specialty clinics that CCH hosts including an asthma clinic, a behavioral clinic, a weight management clinic, and a Synagis clinic. CCH cares for several kids who suffer from allergies and allergic rhinitis, and they perform allergy immunotherapy in all three (soon to be four) of their offices. CCH also has a reputation for diagnosing and treating “fussy” babies who usually have problems with milk/soy protein intolerance and/or gastroesophageal reflux.
