Rovia Clinical Research, a multi-specialty, clinical research site network, on Thursday announced the launch of a new, dedicated clinical research site at the Hattiesburg Clinic (HBC) in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in partnership with principal investigator Dr. Rambod Rouhbakhsh.

HBC, a privately-owned, multi-specialty health system in Mississippi, accommodates more than 450 physicians and providers and serves patients across 17 counties with around 2,000 staff members.

This collaboration extends Rovia's footprint into Mississippi and aims to improve its capabilities in key therapeutic areas while reinforcing a shared, patient-centric mission to advance clinical research.

"The Hattiesburg Clinic and Dr. Rouhbakhsh are highly respected in the region and nation, and we are thrilled to partner with them to launch this new site in an underserved, major geographic region," commented Rovia CEO Patricio Casillas.
