COVID-19 has lead the drug and device development industry down an unprecedented path. As an industry, we have evolved our processes to incorporate new strategies and adapt to this ever changing clinical trial landscape. New challenges, opportunities, and solutions have emerged as clinical trials and development quickly shift from in-person to remote support. As we continue working to identify and apply the best strategies, it is clear that we must embrace innovation. Areas of focus continue to be patient safety and advocacy, understanding and maintaining regulatory compliance, protocol and study design, quality, progressing clinical trial operations, and delivering therapies to patients. Please join us and many of your colleagues for our webinar focused on discussing solutions to Continuation of Clinical Research Activities Through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Peachtree is the CRO that thinks like a Sponsor.

Peachtree Recognizes Women’s History Month

Being a woman-founded and owned company, Women’s History Month (March 2020) carries special significance for Peachtree BioResearch Solutions’ founders, Kristy Nichols and Sharon Hilton. Originating in 1981, initially as “Women’s History Week,” annual presidential proclamations recognize women contributions and specific achievements made through the course of history in a variety of fields.

Science fields, in general are male-dominated – especially at higher levels. “In forming Peachtree, we saw the opportunity to build a different kind of CRO, and provide an avenue for women to enter the clinical research arena,” stated Kristy Nichols, CEO. “When we began operations in 2009, we had two male employees out of 40 total,” said Sharon Hilton, Executive Vice President. “Today, with our significant expansion over the last 3 years, we remain predominately female with a balance at executive management and department heads.”

Having worked on the Sponsor side at a top-50 global pharmaceutical company as department heads, Nichols and Hilton knew first-hand the frequent frustrations managing CRO partnerships. “Inexperience, high CRO personnel turnover, and lack of proactive solutions were constant,” stated Nichols. “We knew if we were having these problems, how did smaller companies with smaller budgets get any expertise and attention? We committed to creating a CRO that resolved the shortcomings we had experienced.”

“We focused on building an organization with highly experienced people, and investing in providing the tools and organizational support for our staff to be successful in exceeding client expectations,” said Hilton. “To combat turnover, common in the CRO industry, we encourage a work environment that balances work-live-play, and is attractive for employees to stay long-term.”

Entering its 12th year of operation, Peachtree stays true to its foundation – experience and solutions.

Peachtree Goes all in for Salvation Army Angel Tree!

Peachtree employees showed their generosity with full participation – home office and regional employees. This program provides new clothes and toys for 1 million children and senior adults who otherwise would receive no gifts during this holiday season. These "angels" are adopted by anonymous donors in an expanding holiday tradition to make the season brighter for both the gift givers and receivers.

Many thanks to Carol Vien for organizing, and her husband Peter for making the delivery to The Salvation Army.
