Mankato Clinic and Javara Bring Clinical Research Close to Home

Mankato Clinic has partnered with Javara to bring clinical trials to our region. This collaboration gives people who live here access to medical innovations that are usually only available to people living in cities with research hospitals.

“We are proud to partner with Javara to give our patients and physicians the opportunity to participate in clinical trials” said Dr. Katie Smentek, Mankato Clinic pediatrician. “Our physicians are excited to offer new care options to our patients and take part in research that can make a difference for many more people.” Javara is transforming health care and changing lives through a new approach to clinical trials. Javara joins forces with large healthcare organizations to deliver clinical trial opportunities to patients through their trusted provider. Javara research teams will work on location and alongside Mankato Clinic physicians and staff. “Together with Mankato Clinic, we will work to bridge the gap between clinical research and clinical care throughout the communities they serve. We look forward to offering more patients access to cutting-edge care options and advancing our mission to improve health and change lives,” said Amanda Wright, Javara co-founder and chief development officer. ■
