<p class="style5">This website is dedicated to the memory of Jay M. Cooper, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., who passed away February 4, 2004, after a long illness. Dr. Cooper was long active in the clinical evaluation of pharmaceuticals, as well as medical and surgical devices. He served as a consultant to pharmaceutical and medical device companies; developed alternative management options for women troubled with uterine fibroids and excessive menstrual bleeding; and he was the driving force behind FDA approval of a less invasive option for female permanent sterilization. Dr. Cooper was a gifted mentor, lecturer, and scientist and authored numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals.</p>
<p class="style5">We, at Women&#8217;s Health Research, will miss Dr. Cooper&#8217;s expertise, sense of humor, and passion for clinical investigation. He was, and still is, an inspiration to us all.</p>

<p><strong>Compassion for Women Drives our Commitment to Quality Care</strong></p>
<p>To generate public awareness about our unique services and clinical studies we commonly use newspaper and radio advertisements. However, at Women’s Health Research, we appreciate that the best form of advertisement is the word of a satisfied patient. To encourage our patients’ referrals of friends and family members we have developed a unique program that allows us to say THANK YOU in a very meaningful way.</p>
<p><strong>The Refer-A-Friend Program</strong></p>
<p>We invite you to encourage your friends or family members to contact us for more information about participating in a Women’s Health Research clinical study. Please use the form to the right to refer a friend to our program.</p>
<p>If your friend chooses to enroll in a study and meets the enrollment qualifications*, we will send you a gift certificate as a token of our appreciation.</p>
<p><em>*You are eligible for the benefits of the Refer-A-Friend program if the referred individual has not previously participated in a WHR clinical trial, and if she qualifies and enrolls as a direct result of your efforts.</em></td>

<p class="style4">Women’s Health Research was established to improve the quality of life for women by conducting clinical studies of promising new procedures, medical devices and medicines. It is the only clinical research organization in Arizona focused exclusively on women’s health.</p>
<p>Women volunteers who meet criteria, and take part in the clinical studies, are women making important medical choices. They:</p>
<ul class="style4">
<li>Help advance science</li>
<li>Receive new or aggressive non-standard treatment for conditions and diseases that may not yet be available to the general public</li>
<li>Receive high-quality medical care as a part of the study</li>
<li>Receive reimbursement for time, transportation and other costs associated with participation</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="style4"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Women volunteers know they are valued beyond their role as study participants. The physicians and staff of WHR place the health and well-being of each participant at the forefront and the patient/physician/staff relationship does not end when the study concludes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #226558; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Patient Testimonials</p>
<p><em></em><br />
<hr /></strong></span><em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I was a participant in your recent Clinical Trial and would like to take a moment of your time to thank you for the difference you and your staff have made. Because of this procedure, I have been able to reclaim each and every day of my life. Before this procedure, my monthly cycles would cause such stress because I never knew on which days I could not leave my house because of the fear of &#8220;flooding&#8221; through my clothes. The difference this procedure has made will have an impact on me forever.</p>
<p>Your staff must be commended for the excellent job they have done each and every time I made contact with them. From the initial call to Berta, my first visit with Susan to my last telephone call with Shanna this week, the experience was special and rare in this day and age. You are very fortunate to have these wonderful people in your organization.</p>
<p>Once again, thank you for the difference you have made in my life by offering to take the time and to perform this procedure.</p>
<p>Yours truly,Christina R.<br />
Phoenix, Arizona</p>
<p></span></em></p>
<p> </p>
<hr /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em></p>
<p>I am writing to commend you for your incredible dedication as well as your personal commitment to each and every patient that you come in contact with on a daily basis. Your efforts are much appreciated by myself.</p>
<p>Being part of a clinical trial at Women&#8217;s Health Research has been a wonderful experience and your staff was always caring and compassionate. I extend to all staff members a gracious thank you for your efforts.</p>
<p>Sincerely, Kim G.<br />
