CORAL SPRINGS, FL--(Marketwired - Feb 16, 2016) - Nutra Pharma Corporation (
Thomas W. Northrop, MHA, FACHE holds a Masters in Health Management from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, and is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Mr. Northrop has led hospitals, healthcare networks, and physician groups in several regions of the country, and has worked extensively in developing new healthcare businesses. He is a member of Tri-State Capital Partners, LLC (TSCP), a New York-based management advisory & investment firm, which brings combined management resources, strategy development & implementation, and capital funding expertise to promising businesses.
"The addition of Tom Northrop and TriState's arrival as part of Nutra Pharma's expanded management team are the first steps in the Company's growth strategy for 2016," commented Rik J Deitsch, CEO of Nutra Pharma. "TriState believes, as we do, that Nutra Pharma has a powerful set of products that effectively combat chronic -- often debilitating -- pain, without the damaging side effects common to other treatments. We have been working closely over the last few months and they are now committed to helping us achieve our growth goals," he continued. "With Tri-State's support, we now have the tools and a depth of resources that will allow for expansion into multiple markets, as well as to help accelerate the development and deployment of our prescription drug candidates," he concluded.
Northrop will lead new marketing efforts in healthcare, governmental and military entities, aging athletes and the elderly, as well as the completion of scientifically rigorous pain relief trials in multiple settings.
"Chronic pain is a major common factor in the lives of millions of Americans -- Civilians, Active-Duty Military, and Veterans alike," commented Tom Northrop. "Nutra Pharma's pain relief solutions are non-opiate, non-narcotic, and non-addictive; they're safe for the kidneys, liver, and stomach; and they don't adversely affect cognitive skills or motor function; all while providing, powerful, long-lasting relief," he continued. "With opioid abuse at record levels, and increased recognition of the dangers of misusing acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like ibuprofen, Nutra Pharma is well positioned to help an enormous global market, and to reap the associated rewards," he concluded.
Additional steps in Nutra Pharma's growth plans will be announced shortly.
