This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the patients, caregivers, research partners, and team members who make our work possible. Your trust, dedication, and collaboration drive our mission to bring clinical research directly to the people who need it most. From all of us at Lightship: thank you, and happy Thanksgiving. #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #Lightship

David's message is clear: when we design trials around people’s real lives, participation becomes possible for everyone. In a recent episode of The Healthcare Technology Report podcast, our CEO, David MacMurchy, shares how Lightship is reshaping clinical trial delivery, and why expanding access must be at the center of the industry’s future. David reflects on: • Meeting patients where they are through flexible on-site, hybrid, and virtual trials supported by our mobile research units • Reducing structural barriers that keep many communities out of research for stronger retention and more representative data • Scaling with discipline and purpose, guided by a leadership team committed to growth without compromising quality Read the full blog and explore key takeaways from the conversation: https://lnkd.in/eGi7ykbA #ClinicalResearch #ClinicalTrialAccess #HealthEquity #Lightship

November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and we’re joining the Alzheimer's Foundation of America in going teal to support the more than 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease. Teal represents calm, comfort, and compassion — qualities that are essential for caregiving, community support, and research. At Lightship, we are committed to advancing access to clinical research for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative conditions. By increasing participation opportunities and supporting patients and caregivers, we aim to help drive progress toward better understanding, improved care, and new potential treatment options. This month and every month, we honor those living with Alzheimer’s and the loved ones and care teams who support them. #TealforAlz #AFALightTheWorldInTeal #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth #Lightship

World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week calls for action across sectors to protect the effectiveness of the medicines we rely on today, and for generations to come. At Lightship, we recognize that innovation in research, equitable access to care, and sustained collaboration are essential to addressing AMR. Drug-resistant infections are increasing, yet awareness, investment, and coordinated action still lag. The time to act is now. By strengthening surveillance, improving access to high-quality diagnostics and treatments, and advancing clinical research, we can help protect our present and secure our future. Every informed decision, every stewardship effort, and every clinical study contributes to this shared responsibility. #WorldAMRWeek #ClinicalResearch #HealthEquity #Lightship

Today is World Pneumonia Day, a reminder that pneumonia remains a leading cause of death worldwide, yet many cases are preventable and treatable. At Lightship, we’re committed to improving access to clinical research that supports earlier diagnosis, effective treatments, and healthier outcomes for patients and communities everywhere. #WorldPneumoniaDay #Pneumonia #Lightship

On Veterans Day, we recognize and honor the service of our nation’s veterans. At Lightship, we’re committed to supporting equitable access to clinical research, ensuring veterans and their families can participate in studies no matter where they live. Thank you to all who have served. #VeteransDay

For Clinical Research Nurse Carrie Kibler, every mile traveled and every visit completed helps make research more accessible for everyone.

Clinical research should meet people where they are, not the other way around.   In this new podcast episode, our CEO, David MacMurchy, talks about how Lightship partners within communities to make participating in research possible for more people, especially those who have never had the chance before.   Thank you to The Healthcare Technology Report for the thoughtful discussion around access, trust, and inclusion in clinical trials.   We hope you enjoy the episode!   #ClinicalTrials #ParticipantExperience #Lightship  

At DPHARM 2025, our COO, Darcy Forman, shares how Lightship is building the site for the modern clinical trial.   Our integrated site network includes brick-and-mortar locations, hybrid visit models, and full virtual capabilities with remote PI oversight, allowing us to meet participants where they are.    Supported by our mobile research units, this approach expands access and includes people who are often left out of clinical research.   #DPHARM #ClinicalResearch #HealthEquity #Lightship
