Afaxys Transitions to a Public Benefit Corporation

Afaxys Becomes a Public Benefit Corporation

In a significant development, Charleston-based healthcare company, Afaxys, LLC, has announced its new legal status as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). The company, recognized for its commitment to public health professionals and their patients, especially in sexual and reproductive health, will continue its dedication towards serving the over 31 million Americans who are dependent on the public health safety net.

Putting Social Purpose over Profit

The step towards becoming a PBC, a designation that’s usually not pursued by traditional corporations focused solely on profit, makes evident Afaxys’ commitment to amalgamate its business operations with a social purpose. This strategy is aimed at fostering the creation of long-term value and aligning with the company’s mission.

Serving Public Health Since 2008

Afaxys was established in 2008 with an aim to ensure a well-managed and long-lasting supply of mission-critical contraceptives and other medical supplies required by public health family planning providers. “While our mission has evolved as our business has grown, our true purpose remains steady – to do right by society,” stated Ronda Dean, President, CEO, and Co-Founder of Afaxys. Dean manifested pride in Afaxys’ transformation to a PBC while continuing to strive for realizing the significant societal purpose they envisioned more than a decade ago.

A Renewed Mission Statement
