Alexandria, Va., March 24, 2021 — Following the U.S. Senate’s confirmation of Dr. Vivek Murthy as U.S. Surgeon General and Dr. Rachel Levine as Assistant Secretary for Health for the Biden-Harris Administration, AMCP offered the below statement of support:
"AMCP congratulates Dr. Vivek Murthy on his confirmation as the U.S. Surgeon General and Dr. Rachel Levine on her confirmation as Assistant Secretary of Health. Each brings a wealth of experience that will serve the American people well and help ensure more people get the health care they need."
"Covid-19 has put a spotlight on who has access to health care in this country and who does not. Reducing these disparities needs to be a top priority of HHS, and AMCP looks forward to working with Drs. Murthy and Levine and their teams to implement solutions that do just that – increasing patient access to affordable medicines, improving health outcomes, and building health equity for all."
