Trenton, May 22, 2025 ― Chrissy Buteas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the HealthCare Institute of New Jersey, issued the following statement concerning today’s release of the Make America Healthy Again report:
“The sole mission of New Jersey’s life sciences is to help American patients and those around the world live longer, with greater health, with less pain and with more independence. As the Medicine Chest of the World, our state has been a global leader in medical innovation for nearly 150 years. We have cured hepatitis C, created vaccines against cervical cancer, delayed the onset of Alzheimer’s, discovered revolutionary and life-saving treatments for sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis and rare conditions, and are finding new, cutting-edge ways to treat cancers every day.”
Buteas continued, “The biopharmaceutical, medical technology and diagnostics community remains a cornerstone of humanity’s fight against disease, infections and other health conditions, and we will work with all stakeholders – from federal and state agencies to individual patients – to continue researching and discovering the life-saving treatments and cures upon which America and the world relies.”
