Equity Medical Opens New Clinical Trial Site in Owensboro, Kentucky, Expanding Access to Research Opportunities
OWENSBORO, KY — July 21, 2026 — Equity Medical, a community-rooted clinical trial organization dedicated to improving access to clinical research, announced the opening of its newest research site in Owensboro, Kentucky. The expansion represents an important milestone in the company’s continued growth and commitment to bringing clinical trial opportunities closer to the communities it serves.
Located at 1921 Leitchfield Road, the new Owensboro site expands Equity Medical’s presence and strengthens its ability to conduct clinical trials across a variety of therapeutic areas while providing patients with greater access to potential participation opportunities closer to home.
“Expanding into Owensboro represents an important step forward in our mission to make clinical trials more accessible to the communities that need them most,” said Dr. Michael Cameron, CEO of Equity Medical. “By establishing research sites in communities beyond traditional clinical trial hubs, we can help reduce barriers to participation and create more opportunities for patients to contribute to the advancement of medical innovation.”
Clinical trial participation has historically been concentrated in major metropolitan areas and academic research centers, creating challenges for many patients who face barriers such as travel requirements, limited awareness, and difficulty accessing research opportunities. Equity Medical’s community-rooted approach focuses on meeting patients where they are by building trusted relationships and bringing clinical trials closer to local communities.
The Owensboro location will provide patients with access to clinical trial opportunities while supporting Equity Medical’s broader goal of creating a more accessible and inclusive clinical research ecosystem.
“Our goal has always been to bring clinical trials closer to patients,” said Dr. James Allred, CMO of Equity Medical. “Opening our Owensboro site allows us to build stronger connections within the community and provide patients with more opportunities to learn about and participate in clinical research.”
The new Owensboro location joins Equity Medical’s growing network of research sites dedicated to advancing clinical trials while prioritizing patient education, engagement, and access.
