<strong>Horizons</strong> <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />

<strong>Horizons</strong> <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, LLC is a local Denver research center<br />

dedicated to conducting clinical research trials in the areas of dermatology,<br />

women’s health, and internal medicine. These studies are conducted for a<br />

number of prestigious US and International pharmaceutical companies who<br />

trust in the quality and integrity of our work. Our physicians are highly<br />

experienced in their specialties and in conducting clinical trials. The studies<br />

that we conduct are for investigational medications that have already passed<br />

the first human testing phase and perhaps have already received FDA<br />

approval.<br />

Our Mission:<br />

Our mission is to provide high quality and reliable clinical research data to the<br />

pharmaceutical companies striving to advance today’s medicine, while<br />

rigorously maintaining the safety, well-being and confidentiality of our<br />

volunteer.<br />

Our Study Population:<br />

A large portion of the population in Denver consists of Spanish speakers<br />

(approximately 35%). The clinical studies we conduct offer numerous benefits<br />

to those who volunteer to participate in them and to not offer the benefits of<br />

clinical research to a large portion of the population would not be fair.<br />

Therefore, many of our full-time staff and coordinators are bilingual in English<br />

and Spanish enabling us to recruit volunteers from each segment of the<br />

population.<br />

Bill Arnold has been the Business Manager for HCRC since the <strong>Center</strong>’s<br />

inception in early 2007. Among his responsibilities are: the company<br />

finances; data management; website design, creation, and maintenance;


volunteer recruitment; marketing, human resources, and management of the<br />

<strong>Center</strong>’s facilities and information technology. In addition to his duties at<br />

HCRC Bill was also a member of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at<br />

National Jewish Health for two years.<br />

Bill graduated in 1995 from Southern New Hampshire University at the top of<br />

his class with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Business. In 1996 he<br />

became the Assistant Director of an international language center in Santiago,<br />

Chile and was in charge of the Scheduling Department, Study Abroad<br />

Department, marketing of the Study Abroad Program.<br />

In the fall of 2000 Bill accepted the position of Director of Admissions at the<br />

language center’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado and moved back to the<br />

United States with his fiancée, Isabel. During the following four and a half<br />

years Bill was responsible for the sales and admissions for the company’s<br />

schools in Denver, Colorado; Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de<br />

Janeiro, Brazil and affiliated schools throughout Latin America and Spain. He<br />

also participated significantly in the international marketing of the language<br />

programs, website design, and creation of brochures and other marketing<br />

materials.<br />

In the fall of 2004 Bill started his own real estate investment company and<br />

within a few months began devoting his full attention to his new business.<br />

After three successful years in real estate investing Bill now devotes his time<br />

and energies to his duties at HCRC. Outside of work Bill and Isabel enjoy<br />

international travel, landscaping and remodeling their home, hiking in the<br />

Rockies, and of course a fine glass of Chilean wine in the evening.<br />

Our goal at HCRC is to provide the highest quality study results possible to the<br />

sponsors and CROs that we work with while ensuring the protection of the<br />

rights and safety of the subjects who participate in our studies. The fact that<br />

we have an excellent reputation for the service we provide is due to the


knowledge, skills, and integrity of our director, Isabel Arnold RN, BSN, CCRC.<br />

We know that the key to providing quality service depends to a large extent<br />

on the quality of the CRCs that conduct our studies. It is for that reason that<br />

Isabel puts so much time and effort into personally training the health care<br />

professionals we hire who are new to research or in retraining CRCs<br />

we hire who have previous experience. In addition to training each and every<br />

new CRC we employ she then continues to mentor them with the goal that we<br />

have the best trained research professionals possible. Although this method of<br />

acquiring high quality professional CRCs is time consuming and requires a<br />

great deal of effort on the part of Isabel she feels it is worth it if we attain our<br />

goal of having a highly trained staff of CRCs who truly care about the quality of<br />

their work.<br />
