Tampa, FL - [July 28th, 2023] - Angels for Change’s (A4C) Chief Change Maker and Founder, Laura Bray, was invited to the White House for a roundtable on the current national pediatric and adult cancer drug shortage crisis. Bray was called on as one of the country’s top healthcare leaders to share her expertise, patient impact stories, and practical solutions to build a more resilient supply chain for all patients. Alongside Bray, were many of A4C’s Advisory Board members and End Drug Shortage Alliance (EDSA) leaders.

Angels for Change is grateful to the Administration for prioritizing the drug shortage crisis and the vulnerability of cancer patients impacted. The White House spearheading this type of collaboration and knowledge-sharing is a momentous step forward to protecting our nation’s pediatric and adult cancer patients.

A4C is encouraged by the commitment of those who answered the call to share their ideas and practical solutions during the White House roundtable. It will take continued collaboration from all industry leaders, patients, physicians, hospitals, supply chain members, and policymakers, to end this crisis.

“I am honored to have been invited to the White House for this important collaborative roundtable. No patient should be faced with harm because of a drug shortage and our beloved physicians must have the tools to save the patients under their care. This must not be a single meeting, but the beginning of the end to drug shortages. For that dream to be realized we must urgently progress this work forward.” said Laura Bray.
