Emory Health Services Research Center Membership Model
By joining the Emory Health Services Research Center (HSR), you gain access to a wide network of stakeholders who are interested in health services research, including research that focuses on access to care, outcomes of care, processes and structures of care, and quality of healthcare delivery.
