I bet an association with us popular stroke bloggers would be more likely to bring in clinical trial participants. Probably because we have more relevant information and more visitors.

Michigan-based CureLauncher (http://www.curelauncher.com),
developer of a patent-pending and proprietary clinical trial matching
service, today announced an exclusive(Does this mean they can't approach other better stroke groups?) partnership with the National
Stroke Association—a leading educational, prevention and advocacy group
for individuals and their families and health care professionals
confronting health issues related to strokes.
National Stroke Association members and visitors will be directed to http://www.curelauncher.com,
where specially trained relationship managers help individuals find a
clinical trial that may offer access to a new diagnostic test, treatment
or rehabilitative approach.
“We are thrilled to partner with
CureLauncher,” said Jim Baranski, National Stroke Association CEO.
“Together, we can make progress in preventing, treating and
understanding this challenging condition that impacts so many American
families. In particular, clinical medical research is bringing us new
diagnostic techniques to identify individuals at risk for stroke, as
well as life strategies and other approaches to prevention.”
The
power of clinical trials. Nearly 200 million Americans have a chronic
disease such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma or cancer. Less than
five percent of them know where to find new treatments available in
clinical trials according to the Center for Information & Study on
Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP). Yet, some of America’s best
medical care is available through these clinical trials.
"CureLauncher
redefines the approach to clinical trials by putting people and their
families first," said David Fuehrer, CureLauncher President, who is also
a two-time cancer survivor and active speaker and volunteer for various
support communities.
“We are excited to collaborate with the
National Stroke Association. We want to help them in their quest to
prevent or alleviate what is now the nation’s fourth leading cause of
death,” Fuehrer added.
About National Stroke Association:
The
National Stroke Association was formed in 1984 to fill a void as the
only national nonprofit healthcare organization focusing 100 percent of
its resources and attention on stroke. In its brief history, National
Stroke Association has become a leading national resource on stroke and
the driving force behind efforts to improve stroke prevention,
treatment, rehabilitation and support for all impacted by stroke. Learn
