WHY CIVICA?

Because patients should have the essential medicines they need when they need them. As a rapidly growing, entrepreneurial, nonprofit generic drug company created by hospital systems and philanthropies, Civica's mission is to reduce and prevent drug shortages while assuring quality generic medicines are accessible and affordable to everyone.

Because the United States experiences chronic shortages of essential generic medicines used daily in hospitals, we are building a state-of-the-art sterile injectable manufacturing facility to combat these shortages. This new facility is part of our broad strategy to stabilize the supply of generic medicines for emergency rooms, surgeries, COVID-19 patient care, and an array of other serious conditions.

 

WHO CIVICA SERVES

While serving 50 health systems and 1,350 hospitals (or 30% of all licensed U.S. hospital beds), Civica also supplies the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Department of Defense, and “340B” hospitals caring for vulnerable patients in some of the country's most underserved areas. And recently, Civica contributed more than 2-million vials of essential medications to the strategic national stockpile.

With 40 sterile injectable medications under contract to supply our member hospitals, Civica is growing and on track to have 100 drugs under contract by 2023.

As we continue to grow, we have many exciting opportunities for multiple types of roles and with opportunity to progress YOUR career.

Responsibilities also include, but are not limited to, the generation, review and/or approval of policies, procedures, reports, and other records necessary to support the design, implementation, and maintenance of a robust quality management system that meets or exceeds FDA requirements.

Recommend action and continuous improvement plans. Summarize findings and recommendations for management and team awareness and/or present at routine Quality Council meetings.
  • Participate or lead the assessment, qualification, and approval of suppliers.

  • Promote a quality mindset and quality excellence approach to all activities.
  • Maintain written procedures for personnel qualification and training and support the delivery of compliance training sessions.
