The Carl & Edyth Lindner Center for Research and Education
The Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research and Education at The Christ Hospital has participated in over 1000 clinical research trials (130 active trials) and has introduced most of the new techniques in cardiovascular medicine over the past 20 years. These studies have included first-in-man as well as first-in-the-U.S. experiences with leading-edge techniques.
A national leader in clinical research, The Lindner Center brings some of the newest and most advanced technologies and treatments to Greater Cincinnati patients - long before they are available to the general public and other physicians. With support from private industry and the National Institutes of Health, The Lindner Center strives to identify the most promising therapies and provide them at a reduced cost to their patients. The center works hard to establish satisfying relationships with patients and referring physicians.
