    In 2022. Halteres Associates produced "Answering Life's Most Important Questions" as part of it's "It's Not Magic, It's Diagnostics" campaign to advocate for the diagnostics and clinical laboratory industries and raise awareness about the important role diagnostic testing plays (alongside therapeutics and vaccines) in a fully advantaged healthcare system. 

    According to the CDC, 70% of today’s medical decisions depend on laboratory test results and 14 billion laboratory tests are ordered annually in the U.S. alone.

    “The COVID-19 pandemic brought significant new attention to the diagnostics industry and the public has become exponentially more familiar with the important role this industry plays in our lives every day,” said Halteres Associates’ managing partner Rich Thayer. “As champions of the diagnostics field, our mission is to continue to educate the public (including policymakers, funders, governments, industry participants, developers, and manufacturers) while also supporting and elevating the companies and processes that enable us all to continue to innovate. Without diagnostics, advances in healthcare would stand still.”

    As of March 2024, the video had been viewed over 53,000 times.
