Governor Chris Christie and Rich Bagger are proud to serve on the Advisory Board of MIDAS Healthcare Solutions, a leading developer of medication security devices that are designed to create innovative technological solutions to prevent prescription drug diversion.
On March 29, 2024, MIDAS responded to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration’s request for comments on Controlled Substance Destruction Alternatives to Incineration. In its response signed by MIDAS Co-Founder and General Counsel Jeffrey Wahl, MIDAS applauds the DEA’s efforts in evaluating additional methods for rendering controlled substances to a non-retrievable state and encourages a holistic view of the drug wasting and disposal process to prevent pharmaceutical diversion, which is a significant contributor to the opioid crisis. MIDAS also notes the unique challenges that health care institutional settings encounter in preventing drug diversion prior to drug neutralization and suggests several solutions to help keep unused medications from being obtained or used illegally.
