Baptist Health Center for Clinical Research

Baptist Health Center for Clinical Research is the clinical research arm of Baptist Health in Arkansas and operates as a medical research clinic in Little Rock. The organization conducts inpatient and outpatient clinical trials across Phase 1 through Phase 4 and focuses on bringing sponsor-funded studies to patients in central Arkansas. Its currently advertised study areas include metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, obesity with type 2 diabetes, asthma, type 1 diabetes, migraine prevention, and vaccine studies. Rather than developing its own proprietary drug pipeline, BHCCR functions as a healthcare-integrated clinical trial site supported by the broader Baptist Health system's hospitals, clinics, diagnostics, treatment, and rehabilitation capabilities.
