Climbing together to achieve tomorrow’s treatment today!
K2 Referral Program for The Villages, FL

At K2 Medical Research, we know that finding new devices, treatments, and cures is not a one-person job, that is why we need you to help spread the word about clinical trials. Our K2TrekTogether Referral Program is a referral program for family and friends to refer each other for clinical research trials. Qualified referrals will receive $75 per referral and there is no limit to the number of referrals.

To qualify for the referral bonus,

  1. Your referral must be new to K2 Medical Research
  2. Referral needs to complete a screening appointment


Come join our K2TrekTogether Referral Program and be a part of the journey.
