Job Description
About Civica:
In the last 20 years, the U.S. has faced a significant rise in shortages of essential generic injectable medications, with over 300 reported shortages. This crisis stems from “race to the bottom” pricing, manufacturing challenges, and predatory pricing, ultimately impacting patients the most.
Civica, a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization founded in 2018 by various health systems and philanthropies, aims to combat these chronic shortages and high prices. With over 55 health systems representing 1,500 hospitals, Civica also supplies essential medicines to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense. Their guiding principle is to “Do What Is in the Best Interest of Patients.”
Civica has expanded its mission to include reducing pharmacy costs through its sister organization, CivicaScript, and is developing affordable biosimilar insulin to support those struggling with medication costs.
