In response to this week’s substantial reductions and restructuring announced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Muscular Dystrophy Association has released the following statement from Paul Melmeyer, Executive Vice President, Public Policy and Advocacy: “The Muscular Dystrophy Association is deeply concerned about how this week’s reductions in force and comprehensive restructuring at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will impact the neuromuscular disease (NMD) community. The adjustments in the sweeping reforms affect offices, programs and services that play a critical role in research, drug and therapy development, and access to care and services. These are vital programs that serve children and adults across the MDA community.” Read the full statement here: https://lnkd.in/enWTXVJ7
