New model gives member pharmacies the flexibility to select between McKesson and Morris & Dickson based on their individual business and patient needs.

EPIC Pharmacies, Inc. (EPIC Rx), a nationwide buying group dedicated to supporting and empowering independent pharmacies, today announced an expanded approach to wholesale distribution that provides member pharmacies with greater choice and flexibility in how they purchase medications. As a champion of pharmacy independence, EPIC Rx is putting greater control in the hands of pharmacy owners and operators, allowing them to select the wholesale partner that best aligns with their business needs, pricing priorities and service expectations.

Under the new model, each member pharmacy can choose between two primary wholesale distribution partners, McKesson and Morris & Dickson, and three secondary wholesale distribution partners: Anda, Masters, and EPIC Rx SelectFill™. Pharmacies can select the partner that best supports their individual business operations and enables them to meet the needs of the patients and communities they serve.

“Broadening our wholesale network to give members choices is an important reflection of who we are and what we stand for at EPIC Rx,” says Brian Hose, EPIC Rx CEO and owner of Sharpsburg Pharmacy. “By offering additional wholesale partners, we’re putting even more decision-making power in the hands of our members and giving them the flexibility to choose what works best for their pharmacies. We know that independent pharmacy owners are making important decisions every day. We want to be a partner that listens to what they need and evolves alongside them.”

As the independent pharmacy landscape continues to evolve, EPIC Rx remains committed to adapting its programs and partnerships to meet the changing priorities of its members. As an advocate for pharmacy independence, EPIC Rx’s wholesale distribution model further advances its mission to help independent pharmacies build stronger, more sustainable businesses.

“This agreement with EPIC Rx gives those independent pharmacy customers greater choice and a stronger path to compete. By bringing together EPIC Rx’s collective strength with Morris & Dickson’s high-touch service, supply-chain capabilities, and commitment to independent pharmacy, we can deliver meaningful value while helping pharmacy owners remain independent and focused on the communities they serve,” explained Todd Laser, SVP, Retail, Morris & Dickson.
