• Decades of experience in infectious disease and LGBTQ+ clinical research has cemented diversity and multicultural inclusion as a central tenet of Mills Clinical Research—one that continues to guide us as we expand our fields of expertise.

• The clinics at our affiliate - Men’s Health Foundation - are at the core of our services designed to combat health inequity.

• Equipped with decades of experience in specialized health care for at-risk men facing health inequities, Mills Clinical Research is a pioneer in providing excellent care; free of the stigma, ignorance or discrimination that many people living with HIV continue to face within our national healthcare system. This partnership allows Mills Clinical Research to offer premium-quality medical care to underserved communities, including the underinsured and underinsured, at low or no cost to patients. We also welcome any undocumented individuals to participate in our trials.
