Civica, a nonprofit pharmaceutical company that works to prevent drug shortages, announces that four new members have joined the company to help protect patients from supply interruptions: Winona Health, Boulder Community Health, Stanford Health Care, and Essentia Health. Under the Civica model, hospitals enter market-stabilizing contracts directly with the company, and doctors and pharmacists choose the drugs they need. The company’s goal is to provide members with 6 months of buffer inventory, prioritizing US-based suppliers.
