WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Michael Manganiello, a lifelong health advocate, has announced the formation of Pyxis Partners, a mission-driven firm committed to improving the lives of others through policy, advocacy, and engagement. With research, stakeholder engagement, and decades of experience working with the public sector and navigating a complex legal and regulatory landscape, Pyxis Partners is well-positioned to help its clients succeed. By pursuing clearly defined outcomes, cultivating committed allies, and building trust throughout the health community, Pyxis will help secure legislative, regulatory, and judicial victories that improve access to vital healthcare services for all Americans.

Pyxis Partners is already engaged in multiple high-profile health care issues, including diversity in biomedical research, affordable drug pricing, reproductive health rights, and the opioid crisis. These efforts are carried out on behalf of national names in the health space like the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program, the Alliance of Community Health Plans, Equity Forward, and Braeburn Pharmaceuticals.

I know firsthand the challenges marginalized and underserved communities face. I was fortunate to be selected for life-saving clinical trials, but many do not get the same opportunities. Countless lives are lost every year due to exclusion from crucial medical research and a lack of access to necessary healthcare, said Manganiello, President & CEO. Ever since science saved my life, I have dedicated my career to ensuring that all voices and perspectives are included in the fight to improve health outcomes. Thats how we change the status quo and make meaningful progress toward a more inclusive health system. And amidst the COVID-19 pandemicwhich has hurt some communities far more than othersthis has never been more important.

Principals Ronnie Tepp and Bobby Clark round out the firms leadership. Tepp has an impressive track record of bringing stakeholders and nontraditional groups together to develop and execute strategies that advance collective health agendas, while Clark has won acclaim as a trusted health policy advisor on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch. The firm also benefits from the wide-ranging experience and perspectives of a diverse team of staff members who have worked across virtually every element of the health sector.
