The pivotal discussion will explore critical issues, strategies
and policies aimed at reshaping the perception and treatment of
mental illness and addiction to improve patient outcomes and
quality of life for all, including military personnel and veterans,
who experience mental health and addiction concerns at dramatically
higher rates. It will be co-moderated by Joel S. Marcus, executive chairman and founder
of Alexandria, board director of
the NSF and the National Medal of Honor Museum and co-founder of
OneFifteen, a data-driven comprehensive care model for treating
addiction that Alexandria
pioneered in partnership with Verily; and Lynne Zydowsky, PhD, chief of science of
Alexandria. For complimentary
access to the live broadcast of the panel, please register on
the Galien Foundation's website. A recording of Alexandria's panel will also be available on
the Galien Foundation's YouTube channel beginning October 28, 2023.
"Mental health and addiction, prioritized focus areas among our
impactful social responsibility pillars, represent two of the most
complex public health issues of our time. An alarming almost 49,500
people took their own lives in the United
States in 2022, the highest number in our country's history,
and drug overdose deaths surpassed 111,000 lives, due in large part
to the rise in fentanyl use," said Mr. Marcus. "In 2017, the opioid
epidemic drove us to pioneer OneFifteen in Dayton, Ohio — a city with one of the highest
per capita overdose death rates in the nation that year. We
designed and developed a state-of-the-art campus with a full
continuum of care, including crisis stabilization, residential
housing and job placement. Since it opened its doors four years
ago, OneFifteen has treated over 6,000 patients. Today, we call for
increased attention and policy action at the federal, state and
local levels to support systemic change that can more boldly
address the unprecedented mental health and addiction crises. We
are honored to bring together our exceptional panelists, who
continue to drive significant reform, in an insightful conversation
on these critical areas, which are fundamental to overall human
health."
Mr. Marcus is serving again this year on the esteemed Prix
Galien USA Awards jury to honor
transformational innovations in life science that have the
potential to profoundly impact human health and enhance the lives
of patients around the world. The annual Prix Galien USA Awards, organized by the Galien
Foundation, is among the most prestigious awards programs in the
life science industry. Mr. Marcus, visionary pioneer of the life
science real estate niche, accomplished executive and seasoned
venture capitalist with decades of experience as a board member of
several public and private life science companies, brings extensive
knowledge of leading-edge science and company building to his role
on the 2023 Prix Galien USA Awards
jury. Alongside other influential life science leaders, he is
serving on the Prix Galien USA
Awards committee responsible for evaluating and recognizing the
