Segal Institute for Clinical Research Board-Certified and Board-Eligible Adult
Psychiatrists conduct Phase II-IV outpatient research studies for most central
nervous system disorders and addiction disorders. Segal Institute's success is
largely due to the volume of patients seen by the clinicians at its sister company,
Compass Health
Systems.
Compass Health Systems is the largest provider of mental health services in each of
the communities where its practices are located. The outpatient practices and outpatient
research sites are located in Charleston, Denver and South Florida.
The South Florida
Compass Health Systems network of over 50 professionals routinely refers subjects to
the Segal Institute South Florida Principal Investigators. In 2009, more than 6,000
adults were treated for CNS and addiction disorders at the five South Florida
Compass
Health Systems outpatient offices. Currently, more than 80 new patients are
seen each week. The vast number of patients seen at Compass combined with a population of 4,000,000
in South Florida enables unprecedented subject recruitment at the South Florida Segal
Institute outpatient sites.
In Denver, the
Compass Colorado Health Systems network of 10 clinicians saw approximately 1,100
adult outpatients for most CNS and addiction disorders in 2008. Denver has seen an
increase in its unemployment rate during the past year, reaching 7.7% as of September
2009. As a result, reports of depression and addiction have become more prevalent
throughout the Colorado mental health care system. The Segal Institute outpatient
clinic has enjoyed a rapid expansion since its inception.
In South Carolina, the Compass Carolina Health Systems network of 10 clinicians saw
approximately 1,100 adult outpatients in 2008. South Carolina is home to 9 major
military bases, including those serving the Marines, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force,
and the Coast Guard. The large population of military personnel in the area has
contributed to a high number of reported outpatient cases of anxiety disorders,
such as PTSD, and addiction in Charleston. Segal Institute has research offices
directly on site at the Compass Carolina clinic facilitating subject enrollment.
