2016 Vision and Value Awards: Recognizing and Honoring Success at Lash Group

Celebrating Achievement

On Tuesday, November 15th, at the annual Vision and Values Awards in Fort Mill, SC, we honored a number of associates who have contributed to our success in their own unique ways.

James Frary, President of AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group (ABSG), began the ceremony by sharing some of the amazing accomplishments across the enterprise in 2016, and giving us a glimpse into what the future looks like when we achieve our current goals.

According to Tracy Foster, President of Lash Group, this has been an incredible fiscal year for Lash Group as well, with many accomplishments on the strategic front. In fiscal year 2016, the company launched a new strategic plan (Vision2020) as well as a new initiative (Fusion) that will provide for a more sophisticated technology platform and an improved customer experience for Lash Group's internal and external stakeholders. The company focused on developing a best-in-class eBV offering, and launched its new Adherence Solutions model – Thumbprint. Lash Group also successfully finalized several key initiatives, including the completion and opening of its new headquarters in Fort Mill, SC, and the transition of US Bioservices’ manufacturer-sponsored free-goods dispensing programs into its TheraCom Pharmacy offering.

Lash Group Award Winners

Through the Vision and Values Awards, we celebrate the dedication of the individual to our company’s strategic goals and core values.
