Message from the President

Near the top of most polling data that measures concern of employers is the cost of healthcare for employees and retirees. This topic has been and will continue to be part of the dialogue that candidates for public office will debate over for the next several months. In a recent interview with former Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini , he shares his view of “Medicare for All” and what that could mean for providers and consumers. These are challenging topics as our society manages lifestyle issues and the benefits of medical breakthroughs that solve unique disease problems within very limited populations.

Delaware Business Community

Aims to Turn 24 into 6

When it comes to business climate, Delaware has a lot going for it. Low taxes. High quality workforce. Proximity to major economic centers. But there is one significant roadblock standing in the way of economic growth for Delaware businesses. That roadblock is a cumbersome and archaic permitting and regulatory process, which

is hindering companies already here and also those companies considering opening up shop in the First State.

Delaware Agribusiness

The company plans to hire 13 employees over the same time period, which would bring its total of full-time R&D employees at the Delaware campus to approximately 375.
