Viking Healthcare Solutions exemplifies the Viking qualities of exploration, discovery, and innovation. The name itself is not only a nod to the ancient Norseman who explored Minnesota (the original Minnesota Vikings) more than 1,000 years ago, but is also reflective of the beginnings of managed care as early as 1905 – in Minnesota. Viking was founded in 1998 with a mission to fulfill the need for outsourced corporate account management for emerging and established small- to mid-size pharmaceutical and biotech organizations. Since that time, Viking has established itself as the premier provider of corporate account services and strategic planning support for the pharma and biotech industries.
