EmVenio and Prime share the mission to provide reliable clinical research among populations across a range of backgrounds, income levels, ability and health statuses. Through EmVenio's research site, Saint Mary physicians will have the capability to engage in clinical research professionally, as well as offer research as a care option to their patients.

"This new research center within Prime Healthcare allows EmVenio to bridge physical, cultural and systemic distances and ensure our research includes every voice needed," said Mark McKenzie, M.D., chief medical officer of EmVenio. "Being located in the center of Chicago, our research team can reach and enroll patients from routine and complex populations, delivering research findings that represent and benefit humanity as a whole. We're excited to collaborate with Saint Mary providers and reach a span of patients who other research groups often miss."

Pre-study visits are available for contract research organizations and trial sponsors to tour the space, meet on-site staff and explore the site's approach to each therapeutic area. CROs and sponsors can request an appointment at emvenio.com/contact.

Since the start of EmVenio and Prime's partnership in 2024, EmVenio opened research centers at Prime hospitals in greater metropolitan areas of Dallas, Atlanta, Kansas City and Detroit.

EmVenio will be hosting an open house on November 13, 2025, from 4-6pm at their Chicago site located at: 610 S. Leavitt Ave Chicago, IL 60608. All are welcome to join.
