relocated to Morgantown, where its operations in the state remain based. The
company’s impact on West Virginia today is significant and wide-ranging, as
measured by its effect on the state’s total gross domestic product; the number of jobs
supported; and influence on local healthcare, education and charitable institutions.

Mylan's School
Access Program - WV

Over the past five years, Mylan has provided 5,866 free epinephrine auto-injectors to 495 schools in West Virginia, ~54% of the state’s schools.

Several years ago, we recognized that epinephrine auto-injectors needed to be as accessible as defibrillators are in public spaces. So Mylan advocated for legislation to permit “undesignated” epinephrine auto-injectors in schools – meaning a prescription could be in a school’s name rather than in a child’s name and any individual experiencing an anaphylactic emergency would have access to the epinephrine auto-injectors. Today, 48 states have adopted such laws, and Mylan has donated nearly 1 million epinephrine auto-injectors to more than 73,000 schools around the country through the school access program.

Since the program began, epinephrine auto-injectors provided through the program have been used at least 4 times in West Virginia in the school setting.
