Led by CEO Steven McAuley, the company is poised for substantial expansion in its research and clinical trials division, marking a pivotal moment in its journey towards industry prominence.

Unveiling the Vision

Empower Clinics is not just another player in the healthcare landscape; it’s a company with a grand vision and a strategic roadmap to revolutionize clinical trials. As it emerges from stealth mode, Empower brings to the forefront a compelling narrative of growth and innovation. With a focus on research and clinical trials, the company has swiftly garnered attention for its early successes in key markets such as Dallas and Los Angeles including already being awarded its first clinical trial from a Global Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical Company.

Foundational Growth and Promising Prospects

Under McAuley’s leadership, Empower has made significant strides in expanding its operational footprint. From just two active sites in the fall, the company has scaled up to six active sites today. Moreover, the number of Principal Investigators has more than doubled, from six to fourteen. This exponential growth not only underscores Empower’s commitment to excellence but also sets the stage for potential contract wins from global pharmaceutical giants.

Seizing Opportunities in a Booming Market

Empower Clinics’ timing couldn’t be more opportune. With the global Clinical Trials Market projected to reach USD 92.45 billion by 2030, fueled by the burgeoning pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device sectors, Empower is primed to capitalize on this burgeoning market. As demographics shift and medical research advances, the company stands at the forefront of innovation, poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare.

VIDEO – Empower Clinics Comes Out Of Stealth Mode With Big Growth And A Grand Plan To Restore Shareholder Value

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 6:46 PM on Friday, April 5th, 2024

Empower Clinics is a healthcare company with a growing research and clinical trials division that is currently achieving early success in the Dallas and Los Angeles markets, including already being awarded its first clinical trial from a Global Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical Company.

But Empower is just getting started according to CEO Steven McAuley, who has come out of regulator mandated stealth mode to report very promising business growth to shareholders.

Specifically, while under cease trade, Empower has grown their active sites from 2 in the fall to 6 today – and Principal Investigators from 6 to 14 today.  That foundation of doctors and medical offices opens the door to potential major contract wins from pharmaceutical companies that need speed and smarts from partners like Empower to get their clinical trials completed.

Empower’s timing couldn’t be better because Fortune Business Insights states the global Clinical Trials Market size is projected to reach USD 92.45 billion in 2030, driven by expanding pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device R&D pipelines as developed G20 nations demographics get increasingly older.  This positions Empower to play a pivotal role  in this transformative era of healthcare.

Watch this powerful interview with CEO Steven McAuley and AGORACOM Founder George Tsiolis.
