Paragon Biomedical, Inc. was founded in 1989. The company's early successes resulted from a strategy still in effect today: Hire the best, most experienced staff in the industry, regardless of location, and provide a customized approach to the key aspects of clinical trial management, data management, and biostatistics.
Our vision: To make a difference in the world through our passionate pursuit of improved healthcare.
This founding business model has continuously enhanced our corporate mission to provide the safest, most well-run and cost-effective clinical trials in the industry. Over time, we've expanded our scope of services to include Project Management, Study Planning and Feasibility, Site Recruitment and Support, Site Monitoring, Medical Monitoring, Data Capture and Management, Data Analysis, Clinical Study Reports, Regulatory Compliance and Safety Surveillance. We grew from industry player to industry leader in key therapeutic areas that include cardiovascular, central nervous systems, infectious disease, oncology and general medicine.
Our mission: To deliver exceptionalclinical trial management services to our partners in the healthcare industry.
In the past two decades, we also expanded our worldwide reach by establishing offices in Poland, the UK, and India. This enabled us to deliver expertise, services and resources through global clinical and project management teams experienced in local customs, culture, language, and regulations. It also provided high enrolling sites in low-cost environments.
Our values: Integrity, teamwork, diversity, and life balance in a learning, rewarding and fun environment.
Because of such carefully considered and decentralized growth, Paragon is now strategically located and large enough to manage any clinical trial, yet still agile enough to offer leading-edge drug development, statistical analysis and medical research services with a client- centric personal touch.
Our full-service offerings, strategic global presence, and risk mitigation have been the driver behind our success, and the success of our clients, over the past two decades. We've continuously improved our processes and training. We've created an exceptional technology infrastructure and systems that perfectly complement our commitment to project excellence.
We've implemented extensive metrics to track performance, and we share all critical information (including financial) through an internal Open Book Management system. Employees are also rewarded for their success through a unique Results Sharing Program. As a result, the company has evolved into a thriving organization.
Over the years, Paragon has been recognized through numerous awards, such as founder Gena Reed's 2005 Remarkable Business Woman of the Year Award from the Orange County chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). Paragon's founders have continued to support the company's unique culture by creating an open environment in our corporate offices and a results sharing program for all employees.
Moving forward, we continue our commitment to our two main constituencies: our customers and our associates. This means constantly looking for ways to improve our services, attract the best and brightest clinical research professionals, and deliver excellence on every project.
Choosing not to rest on past successes, we consider peerless quality, on-time delivery, and strict budgets to be the minimum standard. We are careful to back our words with an intensive, company-wide focus on safe, expertly managed trials.
