Innovative Kindness

By Emily Shuttleworth

Dedicated to pioneering innovations in personalized medicine and patient care, Medco is the prescription benefits company of choice for more than 60 million people suffering from chronic conditions.  Medco leaders hope the company can improve lives, not only through its business, but also through community service.

Every year Medco donates to the LAFD Invitational golf tournament, which directly benefits the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen's Fund. Helping our firefighters and their families is simply not possible without the generous contributions of sponsors like Medco. "We were so thrilled this year," says Marlene Casillas, LAFRA's Development and Marketing Director, "Because Medco stepped up and increased their level of contribution. They became our first ever Shirt Sponsor. They covered the costs for an expense that, in prior years, had to come out of the event budget. By stepping up in this manner, Medco truly helped us net a larger donation amount for the charity than ever before."

Medco usually enters people's lives at a difficult time. Perhaps they've started medications for a chronic condition or they've been given prescriptions they can't afford. When people are lost or confused, Medco representatives say they step in to make sure customers are taken care of in times of need. For both Widows & Orphans and Medco, it's all about keeping good people feeling secure, healthy and moreover, happy in those times when they need it most.
