Our mission is to fulfill medicine’s true purpose — to improve quality of life — for everyone
who needs it.
As a tech company, we recognize that innovation can only take place as we include varying
backgrounds and experiences to come together around common goals.
As a pharmacy, we are committed to better representing the populations we are serving by
building a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
As a fast-growing company, we are partnering with Howard University, an institution that
embodies and bolsters diversity, to focus on recruiting and providing opportunities for
underrepresented professionals within the pharmacy practice.
