Company Overview
Hospira is a global specialty pharmaceutical and medication delivery company driven by its vision of Advancing WellnessTM. Bringing proven leadership and experience, Hospira provides solutions to help improve the productivity, safety and effectiveness of patient care. In early 2007, Hospira acquired Mayne Pharma to become the world leader in specialty generic injectable pharmaceuticals.
With 70 years of service to the hospital industry, Hospira's portfolio includes one of the industry's broadest lines of generic acute-care and oncology injectables, and integrated solutions for medication management and infusion therapy. Hospira is also a leading provider of contract manufacturing services to proprietary pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for formulation development, filling and finishing of injectable pharmaceuticals. Its broad portfolio of products is used by hospitals and alternate site providers, such as clinics, home healthcare providers and long-term care facilities.
Through its offering of high-quality, lower-cost alternatives to proprietary medications, Hospira continues to help reduce the overall costs of healthcare - to improve both the affordability of care for patients and the financial strength of the global healthcare system. The company also is a pioneer in providing innovative solutions to improve patient and healthcare worker safety.
By working with its customers to integrate technologies at the point of care, Hospira is the partner of choice for improving patient and workplace safety, clinical outcomes and cost management, and caregiver efficiency and effectiveness.
The name "Hospira," selected by the company's employees before its launch as an independent company in 2004, is derived from the words hospital, spirit, inspire and the Latin word spero, which means hope. It reflects the company's primary market focus and its heritage as the core global hospital products business of Abbott Laboratories, and expresses the hope and optimism that are critical in the healthcare industry.
Hospira had 2006 sales of approximately $2.7 billion and is headquartered north of Chicago in Lake Forest, Illinois.
