** BREAKING NEWS ** US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASSES 21st CENTURY CURES ACT 344 - 77!! We thank Chairman Upton & Representative DeGette for their BIPARTISAN leadership in this effort.  And a PHF thank you to our own Board of Director Jennifer Westdyke & PHF PA State Chapter Director Jenna Sciulli who participated in Round-table Discussions on 2 occasions in Pennsylvania as this legislation was crafted & created.  What this means to the Hydrocephalus Community? * Increased funding to the NIH over the next 5 years to total just under $9 BILLION DOLLARS * Faster & more efficient FDA approval process (think SHUNT improvements / new technologies reaching the market quicker) What's next? The Bill heads to the Senate to start the same process ending with a vote, and then if passed, to the President's desk for a signature.
