Indiana Medical Research

Indiana Medical Research is a specialized clinical research facility located in Elkhart, Indiana, operating as an affiliate of The Elkhart Clinic. The company generates revenue by providing end-to-end clinical trial coordination services to pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, and academic institutions, including patient recruitment, trial monitoring, regulatory documentation, and data management for Phase I-IV studies. As a niche player in northern Indiana’s healthcare research ecosystem, it leverages its affiliation with a established regional clinic to access patient populations and institutional credibility, positioning itself as a trusted local partner for sponsors seeking midwestern trial sites. Despite its small team size (estimated 1-5 employees based on service scope and lack of public staffing data), the firm handles complex, high-value trials requiring specialized medical oversight and compliance expertise. The business is a strong EBP prospect due to its high-value, knowledge-intensive workforce where benefits costs represent a significant operational burden — with an estimated 3 W-2 employees, annual EBP savings would be approximately $3,570 (3 × $1,190). The Medical Director, likely Dr. James R. Miller given the affiliate structure and medical focus, controls benefits decisions and would be motivated by the dual advantage of reducing fixed HR expenses while enhancing the competitiveness of their benefits package to attract and retain specialized clinical research coordinators, nurses, and data managers — roles that are difficult to fill in the Elkhart labor market. Offering EBP would allow them to redirect savings toward trial infrastructure or staff development, directly addressing their known pain point of high operational costs without compromising talent quality.
