About Halleran–Voss
Ninety years of asking what a patient needs. We are now also a
company that asks what the country needs, and we regard the second
question as an extension of the first rather than a departure
from it.
The company
Halleran–Voss was incorporated in 1946 as a manufacturer of
sedative and antihistamine preparations for the domestic market,
and has been a subsidiary of Civic Chemical since 1971. For most
of that history the company served physicians. It now serves
physicians and the institutions that employ them.
The Civic Health Accord
On 25 August 2036 the company entered a long-term partnership
with the Office of Domestic Compliance — the first agreement of its
kind between an American manufacturer and a federal agency of
public order. One supply chain now runs from our laboratories to
the Office’s field operations.
Adherence therapeutics
Much of what the Office now manages is behavioural rather than
criminal. We believe those limits are, in substantial part, a
medical problem, and therefore ours to address. The category
comprises compounds intended to relieve the distress that
accompanies civic friction — in the individual and in the
community — without recourse to confinement.
Civic devices
Not every indication is answered by a compound. Our devices
division supplies SYNCORE, a cortical pacing implant fitted at
employer request for pace deficit in retained staff following
automation of adjacent functions. The implant does not increase
capability. It suppresses the signal that work has been completed,
which in the great majority of wearers is sufficient. The device is
not removable; this is the basis of the productivity guarantee.
Civic engagement
Halleran–Voss is a founding underwriter of the Continuity
Caucus, a new direction for the party of order. The company does
not take positions on legislation. It supports the conditions under
which legislation can be enacted without interruption.
Regulatory
Preparations in the adherence category are authorised by the
Office under Class II civic supply and are not subject to the
ordinary retail approval pathway. Availability varies by class.
Several preparations are supplied only to contracted authorities,
and are not available by prescription.
