Civica to Manufacture and Distribute Affordable Insulin
Through a transformative collaboration between Civica and dedicated partners representing nearly every corner of the diabetes ecosystem, Americans with diabetes will have access to more affordable insulins. This transparent, cost-plus model will drastically reduce out-of-pocket costs for insulin.
“Diabetes is arguably Americaโs most expensive chronic condition, and it is heartbreaking that millions of people are rationing their care and putting their lives at risk because they can no longer afford insulin. Through mission-driven partnerships, we are choosing to create a new market reality where no one is forced to ration essential diabetes medications.”

Insulin Spending Caps Wonโt Work. Hereโs a Better Idea
With fairer rules in place, competitors should be able to force down the cost of insulin overall, to the benefit of consumers and taxpayers alike. Wherever possible, the goal should be removing impedimentsโฆ and making it harder for the major manufacturers to maintain the status quo.

โItโs more than a steel beam, itโs building the foundation for quality and affordable medication for millions of Americans.โ
Chair, Civica Board of Directors
“This beam will cherish the names of Civica employees, partners, and visitors and be a daily reminder of just how many people we are helping to build a better tomorrowโฆ
“Civica Rx has already partnered with nearly 60 health systems, over 1,500 hospitals, and produced more than 60 drugs. This facility, set in Virginia, will help produce insulin and lower the cost from $300 to $30 per vial. It will also produce numerous essential medicines hospitals rely on every day. On top of all that, the facility itself is helping to give more sustainable jobs and incomes for families in the area.”
