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 created in 2018 by health systems and philanthropies to prevent and mitigate drug shortages. Nearly 60 health systems, representing over 1,400 hospitals and about one-third of U.S. hospital beds, have joined Civica. Civica has supplied medicines to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and the Strategic National Stockpile, operating in 49 states.

Civica's mission extends beyond hospitals to consumers via CivicaScript, making affordable, quality outpatient generic medicines. The company partners with manufacturers and payors to develop and distribute cost-effective medicines, including biosimilars like insulin.

Our new 140,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Virginia will produce sterile injectables and biosimilar insulins, ensuring access and affordability for all Americans.

The Civica Foundation supports philanthropic efforts, notably to bring affordable insulin nationwide. Civica champions a movement prioritizing patient needs over profits.
