Together, we move pharmacy forward for better patient outcomes tomorrow

Our partnership begins with sourcing and distribution, but it goes far beyond moving boxes. With the expertise of your team and harnessing our core capabilities, together we can transform healthcare and create healthier futures for everyone. Because at the end of the day, we are all patients.

Sourcing and distribution excellence

The difference between a successful treatment and a postponed treatment, between life and death, can easily come down to having the right drug at hand when and where you need it. Our unparalleled distribution network is designed to move crucial medications throughout your hospital or health system reliably and securely. From manufacturers to care providers to patients — we leverage real-time evidence and statistics to increase efficiency and automatically inform every aspect of distribution. That data feeds a self-improving cycle that informs the algorithms of automation and the insights of human beings.

Innovation and partnership

In collaboration with pharmacy and supply chain leaders and decision-makers, we identify the issues and define jobs to be done that Cencora is uniquely positioned to solve. We love to partner with health systems and pharmacies to co-create the solutions they need. And these often go on to achieve big things for other Cencora customers. As the landscape changes, we help you adapt to keep your supply chain seamless and your pharmacy moving forward.

If we don't have the solution you need, we're prepared to make it — together.

Next-level support

When you partner with Cencora, your account support is built for simplicity and flexibility. Across our team you’ll find pharmacists and healthcare professionals with health system-specific backgrounds who know what you’re facing firsthand. That shared experience feeds a genuine passion to alleviate burdens and roadblocks for your staff and provides a foundation to understand your operational, financial, and strategic goals and challenges more deeply. 

Our integrated approach to hospital and health system solutions

Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions

We know firsthand that healthcare is changing fast. That’s why we created Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions — to help you set the pace for your priorities. From simplifying your supply chain to building new capabilities and services, we pair industry-leading technology with deep pharmacy and supply chain expertise enabling you to better serve your communities. 

Our approach is driven by four key actions working in unison to create a healthier future for pharmacies.

Optimizing operations

Building a supply chain that's flexible and resilient is critical for patients and personnel. From inventory storage and tracking to specialized freight solutions and innovative products, we help streamline your supply chain to better serve your patients.

Improving financials

Healthier futures depend on fiscal sustainability. This is supported through bespoke financial solutions that serve your health system effectively and efficiently, improving insights, connecting data, and automating processes. The more efficient a pharmacy is, the more effective it is.

Expanding care

Better outcomes are achieved by putting patients first. It’s the only way we’re going to improve treatments, adherence, and outcomes. We help you meet your patients where they are through tailored solutions that support access to care.

Safeguarding tomorrow

Protecting the business you have sounds like defense. But it’s not — it’s the key to growth. This proactive mindset is central to how we approach not just your pharmacy’s business, but also your pharmacy’s patients.
