<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 />
