What can we do to improve the experience of research volunteers?
• Everyone is very helpful, always on track! Everyone was so nice and helpful. It made the time here so nice.
• Everything was good. I cannot think of any improvements that would be required.
• I can't imagine working with a nicer group of people! The staff here is wonderful. Thank you to all of them. It was all great!!
• Made my stay pleasant and would not hesitate to come again. Good professional people.
• More CRC specific parking, especially in bad weather. The employees at the CRC are always helpful and caring. They go above and beyond to accommodate any needs I might have. They deserve a lot of credit for making research patients feel comfortable at all times. Personally I have seen the great strides made in research over the last 25 years. I would like to thank everyone who is working so hard to make a difference for those who have FSH muscular dystrophy.
• Very nice staff. The only thing that is needed is a little stronger Internet at times would be helpful. Thank you.
