Independent community pharmacies play a critical role in providing accessible healthcare, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas where care options are limited. Recognizing the value of these pharmacies, McKesson established RxOwnership®, a no-fee, no-contract resource dedicated to strengthening and growing independent pharmacy. RxOwnership® supports pharmacy owners and future owners at every stage—whether opening a first pharmacy, expanding operations, or planning for succession. Their goal is simple: to help pharmacies remain viable, competitive, and connected to their communities for years to come.
RxOwnership® offers structured guidance in several key areas:
- Understanding the Pharmacy Market: Helping owners gain solid knowledge and expert insights.
- Developing a Business Plan: Assisting with creating detailed financial and operational roadmaps.
- Building a Strong Team: Offering advice on assembling skilled, reliable pharmacy staff.
- Selecting the Right Location: Guiding site selection based on market analysis and growth potential.
- Supporting Financial Planning: Providing confidential assistance for buying, expanding, or transitioning ownership.
By providing these resources without cost or contractual obligation—and without requiring McKesson affiliation—RxOwnership® ensures pharmacy owners have access to unbiased, practical support. For decision-makers navigating the complexities of ownership, succession, or growth, RxOwnership® offers a trusted framework to adapt their business models to an evolving healthcare landscape and secure the long-term financial health of their pharmacies.
