What they’re saying

“We are very fortunate to have Mike as an ambassador. During his prolific career, he has developed meaningful relationships throughout Missouri and the country. He also has spent considerable time in his career in the healthcare arena, making him uniquely equipped to help SHARx solve the nation's high-cost drug problem.”

— Corey Durbin, CEO of SHARx (PRNewswire)

“I spent a lot of time understanding how SHARx helps its members and employer groups. I don't think there is a healthcare mission more critical than what SHARx is doing. When less than 5% of the population is incurring nearly 90% of the drug spend, it is time for us all to come together. Enough is enough, and the message I have shared with many throughout the state has been very well received.”
