Civica Rx

BioSpace has again named Civica Rx a “Best Place to Work.” Civica is recognized in part for its emphasis on culture, leadership and innovation. “A talented team doing what is in the best interest of patients is the foundation of our culture and our collaborative, nonprofit organization is a model for innovation,” said Civica’s President and CEO Ned McCoy. “Congratulations to the entire Civica team. I’m so proud of all we have accomplished together as we work to make quality, essential medications available and affordable to everyone,” said McCoy. “We continue to grow our impact – to date providing nearly 200 million units of quality generic medicines that have historically been in short supply, enough to help treat nearly 90 million patients at our member hospitals,” he added. Civica’s nonprofit “health care utility” model is also being applied, via CivicaScript to lower drug costs for consumers at the pharmacy counter. One of the first medications CivicaScript tackled was a medication for prostate cancer. Other medications are in the pipeline, including Civica insulin, which will be available to consumers at affordable – and unprecedented – prices. BioSpace is a digital hub for timely life science news and jobs. We are honored to receive this important recognition!
