About Panacean
The word Panacean is defined as a remedy for all ills or difficulties - A Cure All. This definition reflects the motivation and mission of Panacean’s founders,
Eric Gray and Phanerrica Muhammad, BSN, RN, PCCN.
​
Eric Gray is a serial entrepreneur whose experience encompasses a variety of industries. Mr. Gray's inspiration to launch Panacean spawned from a speech that was made by the Former Governor of Pennsylvania, Edward G. Rendell, during the 2016 Liberty Medal ceremony honoring John Lewis . The Governor's speech emphasized the importance of civic education and the positive long term impact that civic education has on all Americans. Mr. Gray reflected on the Governor's speech and made a personal commitment to increase civic education and awareness amongst the youth that he felt needed it the most - the underserved.
