On behalf of Patients Rising, the organization representing millions of Americans living with chronic disease, I write to support the nomination of Dr. Robert Califf to serve as Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has a broad range of responsibilities impacting the health and well-being of Americans, including regulation of prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Together, with patients and the federal government, we share the administrations’ objective to responsibly protect the public’s health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of drugs, biological products, and medical devices. Our organization works with the FDA to inform them of the impact of healthcare policies on Americans with chronic disease.
