Clinical Research for Providers

The St. Charles Research Department endeavors to support Central Oregon providers in their scientific interests, as well as offer patients access to cutting-edge treatments.

The program was formed from St. Charles’ long-standing cancer and heart research programs. The Research Department currently conducts National Cancer Institute, investigator-initiated and pharmaceutical industry-sponsored clinical trials of drugs, devices, vaccines and supportive care therapies.
