About Civica :

Critical shortages of essential generic injectable drugs are an ongoing crisis in U.S. healthcare and have reached an all-time high. Over 300 essential medications are currently reported to be in shortage, according to industry and FDA reports.

Shortages put patients at risk and waste hospital resources.

Civica is a market-based nonprofit solution created in 2018 by health systems and philanthropies for the express purpose of preventing and mitigating drug shortages. Today, nearly 60 health systems have joined Civica, representing over 1,400 hospitals and approximately one-third of all U.S. hospital beds. Civica has also supplied the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile with essential medicines. Civica currently supplies medicines to health system members in 49 states.

Civica's mission has expanded beyond the hospital setting to reach consumers directly through CivicaScript, which is dedicated to making quality outpatient generic medicines affordable and available. CivicaScript works with trusted manufacturing partners to develop quality generic medicines and has forged partnerships with like-minded payors, pharmacy benefit managers and pharmacies to enable significant cost savings to be passed along to their customers.

Civica's new 140,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Virginia will soon produce a steady supply of more than three dozen sterile injectables, all drugs that are currently in or near shortage. The plant will also produce affordable biosimilar insulins, ensuring all Americans have access to lower cost, quality insulins, regardless of their insurance status.

The Civica Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that fosters philanthropic support for Civica's work to manufacture and distribute affordable medications. The Foundation's first commitment is to support Civica's efforts to bring affordable insulin to all Americans. Leaders from nearly every corner of the diabetes ecosystem are partners in this initiative.

Civica is leading a movement for patients, not profits. Because eliminating shortages and stabilizing high prices are in the best interest of patients.
