Bronson participates in research to find out which nursing and medical practices are best for patients. We use this important evidence to design our methods of care. It's part of being a national leader in healthcare quality.

Our physicians, residents, nurses, and other healthcare professionals perform research in a variety of areas, including nursing practices, cardiovascular, trauma, orthopedic, neuroscience, women's and children's services. Bronson often partners with other organizations and pharmaceutical companies, including Michigan State University/ Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies (KCMS) and Western Michigan University.

Research is Free and Voluntary
Patients participate in research only if they choose to. Patients never pay to participate in research at Bronson. The decision to participate or not participate does not affect their healthcare.
