Alexandria, VA and Parsippany, NJ (December 1, 2024)—The National Home Infusion Association (NHIA) and Melinta Therapeutics, LLC (Melinta), a commercial-stage company providing innovative therapies for acute and life-threatening illnesses, are pleased to announce the addition of Melinta to NHIA’s Future of Infusion Advisory Council (FIAC). FIAC is a strategic advisory group comprised of manufacturing and service companies that are intensely invested in the home and alternate site infusion industry. The group consistently works with the association staff and Board of Directors to address critical issues, challenges, and opportunities facing this growing segment of healthcare.
For Melinta, membership in the FIAC provides the opportunity for critical collaboration with the association and other organizations serving patients requiring infusion therapies. This work helps to enhance continuity of care as patients transition out of the hospital.
“We’re excited to join FIAC and collaborate with health care professionals on the patient experience both immediately and long-term,” said John Harlow, Chief Commercial Officer at Melinta. “Through our partnership with NHIA, we have built a stronger understanding of the home infusion marketplace and customer needs, helping us address the changing landscape in outpatient infusion. Together, we can make a real difference in patient care – today and tomorrow.”
Melinta Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to providing innovative therapies to people impacted by acute and life-threatening illnesses. We focus our expanding portfolio on therapeutic areas with unmet needs to make the greatest possible impact on patients. Through collaboration with health care providers, we ensure the patients who need our therapies receive them.
