Tri-National, Inc., is a transportation company that facilitates trade among North American countries. Committed to giving back, Tri-National, Inc., supports the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
Part of ADA’s mission is to improve the lives of people with diabetes. To this end, the organization recently launched a campaign to bring down the price of insulin through concerted efforts by all industry players. Millions of people in the United States live with diabetes. Sadly, the cost of insulin has been steadily rising, putting the life-saving drug out of reach for many. In 2017, ADA established an Insulin Access and Affordability Working Group to look into the problem and recommend long-term solutions. Throughout 2017 and 2018, the Working Group undertook a series of meetings with stakeholders along the insulin supply chain, from manufacturers to distributors, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), pharmacies, health plans, and caregivers. Some of the problems the Working Group noted were: - a rebate system that encouraged high pricing, - lack of transparency throughout the supply chain, - substantial market power in the hands of PBMs, - burdensome regulations for biosimilar insulin development and approval, and - adverse medical care ramifications for insulin formulary decisions. The Working Group then recommended several steps to reduce the price of insulin for patients, including cost-sharing for insured patients and a rebate system that promotes lower insulin prices Since its establishment, transportation provider Tri-National, Inc. has provided logistics solutions to support businesses across North America. Besides its core business, Tri-National, Inc. supports various charities including Kids Without Cancer. Kids Without Cancer, an organization committed to finding a cure for all childhood cancers, sponsors cancer research at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan and its affiliates. By 2017, the organization had raised over $4.5 million for research. In August 2017, Kids Without Cancer took a new step in its mission to eradicate cancer in children. The organization agreed to fund an entire independent research lab for the doctors at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. The organization’s members approved a proposal to sponsor the project for 10 years to the tune of $356,000. The new lab will be hosted at the Wayne State University’s Integrative Biosciences Center (IBio). Named the Kids Without Cancer Zebra Fish Research Center, it will have the capacity to conduct six cancer research projects simultaneously, empowering the doctors with additional resources to increase the progress of their research. A large-scale transportation and delivery service operating under the North American Free Trade Agreement, Tri-National, Inc.'s network of drivers provides door-to-door service throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Tri-National, Inc., is an active supporter of numerous nonprofits, including the Kilo Diabetes & Vascular Research Foundation. The foundation was created in 1972 by Drs. Joseph R. Williamson and Charles Kilo as a means of raising money for further diabetes and vascular disease research. Kilo, who currently serves as the foundation's chairman, is a professor at Washington University's School of Medicine. He previously served as an intelligence officer in the Air Force division of the US Army, retiring as a major in 1952 and enlisting in medical school at St. Louis' Washington University. Dr. Kilo's greatest accomplishment is the development of the now-practiced-and-accepted theory that normalizing cardiovascular risk factors and blood glucose levels delays, and in some cases, prevents diabetes-related complications. He's a staunch advocated of self-monitoring blood sugar levels. Throughout his career, he has authored five books and over 250 abstracts and articles, in addition to presenting over 850 medical lectures. He recently became the ninth member of the Washington University Department of Medicine Hall of Fame.

Dedicated to serving its community, Tri-National, Inc., supports several charitable and community organizations, including Kids Without Cancer (KWC). KWC has been funding research to eradicate childhood cancer around the world since 1981. To accomplish its mission, it relies on the support of generous donors and volunteers. Donors are welcome to send various amounts to KWC online or via telephone or mail. Contributions can be either discrete or recurring and made in honor or memory of a cherished individual. KWC notifies those in whose honor a gift is made and sends donors a receipt for tax deduction purposes. Beyond being receptive to donations, KWC welcomes two types of volunteers, one of which donates his or her time to help with fundraising or events. The second type brings to bear a specific skill or set of skills that the organization needs, including an ability to write, develop web pages, or manage social media. Regardless of the type, volunteers reap the benefits of meeting new people, exploring new careers, building self-esteem, and developing their resume. |
