TAMPA, Fla. - OhioPen -- Angels for Change, a global non-profit on a mission to end drug shortages, presented the organization's 2024 Drug Shortage Guardian Award to Fresenius Kabi USA, a health care company that specializes in lifesaving medicines and technologies for infusion, transfusion, and clinical nutrition.
Fresenius Kabi USA received the award in recognition of its exceptional teamwork and patient focus during the critical chemotherapy shortages of 2023. The patient-centric focus and culture of Fresenius Kabi enabled the company to rapidly increase output and urgently steward emergency supply to thousands of customers and patients in need of critical therapies.
The Drug Shortage Guardian Award is presented annually to an organization and its people for exhibiting exceptional patient-centered work during a drug shortage crisis. Angels for Change defines a guardian as a "defender; one who guards, protects those in need."
"It is important to recognize individuals within the supply chain for extraordinary, patient-focused work. In highlighting gold-standard work we foster change and support building the resilient supply chain of the future. We are proud to present our 2024 Guardian Award to Fresenius Kabi and its amazing employees who tirelessly strive to ensure patient access to lifesaving medicines across the country, even in dire shortage situations," said Founder and Chief Change Maker of Angels for Change, Laura Bray.

"At Fresenius Kabi, we exist to put lifesaving medicines and technologies in the hands of people who care for patients. We are honored to receive this recognition from Angels for Change and look forward to supporting the important work of Laura and the mission of Angels for Change. We will continue to do our part to put an end to essential medicine (or drug) shortages," said John Ducker, president and CEO, Fresenius Kabi, Region U.S.
The awards were presented at Fresenius Kabi's U.S. headquarters in Lake Zurich, Ill. on May 16th, 2024.
