AdvaMed Throws Weight Behind Protestors In Ongoing US Demonstrations

The move is unusual for a group that tends to stay out of the political fray

AdvaMed CEO Scott Whitaker shared a letter he sent to member companies voicing support for the ongoing protests around the US against police brutality that were sparked after the killing of George Floyd. “While we continue our single-minded pursuit of medical breakthroughs to treat and cure disease, we must also have a single-minded focus on eradicating the disease of racism in this country and around the world,” Whitaker wrote.
