1980s:

Families in Motion

In the 1980s, Lilly employees and their families helped usher in a new era of innovation. Prozac, one of the world’s most recognized medicines, began production in Puerto Rico, cementing the island’s role at the forefront of global healthcare. But progress wasn’t just measured in medicines. Employees’ children attended Lilly summer camps, families gathered at Open Houses, and “Excellence in Motion” celebrated the dedication of the workforce. At a time when Puerto Rico faced economic challenges, Lilly offered stability, investment, and an environment where families could thrive for generations.
