Clinical trials in Yonkers and Westchester County
Local research sites. St. John's Riverside Hospital and other sites in Yonkers, Hartsdale, and Elmsford take part in clinical studies, so many Westchester residents can find a study without traveling into the city.
Cancer. Memorial Sloan Kettering Westchester in Harrison runs a large program of cancer studies, and New York Medical College in Valhalla is another major research center in the county; see our oncology clinical trials page.
Other conditions. Studies in Westchester also cover obesity and fatty liver disease, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and eye conditions such as macular degeneration. Our weight loss clinical trials page lists studies of new weight loss medicines.
Studies in New York City. Because Yonkers borders the Bronx, the list on this page also includes studies at Montefiore Medical Center and other New York City hospitals, which together run one of the largest concentrations of clinical trials in the country.
Paid clinical trials in Yonkers
Some studies offer compensation for time and travel, and study related care is typically provided at no cost to participants. Compensation varies by trial and is always described during the informed consent process before you agree to anything. Each study's institutional review board approves the amount and schedule of any payment, and FDA does not consider reimbursement for travel to be an undue influence, so many studies at least cover the cost of getting to visits, including trips into the city. Our guide explains how much clinical trials pay and how payment is decided.

How to join a clinical trial in Yonkers
- Identify your trial. Use the filters on this page to narrow the list by condition or phase, or search a diagnosis such as Crohn's disease or breast cancer.
- Check the location. Each study lists the sites where it recruits, so check whether it has a site in Yonkers or elsewhere in Westchester, not only in Manhattan.
- Explore study details. Read the eligibility criteria and, where listed, the number of visits and how long the study lasts before applying.
- Complete the health profile. Click "See if you qualify" to begin the 5-step application. Have ready your diagnosis and when it was made, the medicines you take, and any recent test results.
- Submit the application. A clinical trial coordinator reviews it and contacts you to discuss next steps. Nothing is decided until informed consent, and participation is voluntary at every step.
Our guide to finding clinical trials near you covers each step in more detail.
Can I take part in more than one clinical trial at a time?
Usually not. Most studies exclude people who are taking part in another study of an investigational treatment, or who did so recently, so tell the study team about any other research you are in.
