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. The organization prioritizes patient interests and has expanded its mission to include affordable medications at retail pharmacies through its sister organization, CivicaScript.
Recently, Civica announced plans to produce affordable biosimilar insulin, ensuring consistent availability for those in need. Long- and short-acting insulins will be priced at no more than $30 per vial and $55 for a pack of five pens.
