Ethical Profile

Mixed.

BrightSpring Health Services shows a mixed ethical profile. Its subsidiary, PharMerica, donated nearly $25 million in prescriptions to underserved patients in 2023. The company also reported lower COVID-19 infection rates for employees (2.98%) and patients (2.42%) compared to the U.S. general population (6.1%). Patient satisfaction is high, with Onco360® achieving an NPS of 94. However, employee reviews express concerns about low pay and poor management, though the company aims for 75% of employees to earn living wages within two years, up from approximately 60% currently. BrightSpring maintains formal whistleblower and anti-corruption policies, and reports zero fines or violations in the past two years.
