In January of last year, several hospital groups, representing approximately 450 US hospitals, revealed plans to form a nonprofit generic drug company in a bold move designed to address generic drug shortages and high prices affecting their hospitals.

The nonprofit drug maker that resulted from that effort is Civica Rx, which this January announced that it had added another 12 health systems to its ranks, bringing the total of hospitals involved in the venture to 750.
