PharmaLink’ s first facility expansion of 3,000 SqFt. took place in 2001

Continuing to grow, PharmaLink moved into a 16,000 SqFt facility in Largo, FL in 2002

PharmaLink launched an innovative fixed cost returns solution called “eBudget”, which allowed pharmacies to budget their annual returns expense as well as maximize their credit reimbursements. eBudget quickly became the preferred returns solution by thousands of pharmacies across the country.

PharmaLink introduces a ‘no out-of-pocket expense’ program for pharmacies by collaborating with major wholesalers that deliver more credits to customers while at the same time preserving their cash outlay for returns.

PharmaLink joins HDMA, a national association focused on developing a more efficient and effective distribution system and becomes a Returns Taskforce member. In 2016, HDMA became the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) to reflect the organization’s growing role as a convener of the supply chain both domestically and globally.

PharmaLink launches an online web-based inventory and reporting platform giving customers the capability to create or upload their returns inventory, manage shipments, view product return results  and track credits in real-time.

PharmaLink joins the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, an international organization with 40,000+ pharmacy members. NACDS advocates for pro-patient, pro-pharmacy policies at all levels and in all branches of government.

Recognized as a leader in the Independent Pharmacy space, the company relocated to a new distribution facility in Largo, nearly doubling its capacity. The facility allows PharmaLink to expand into other market segments in the healthcare space.

MedFlats® is a complete, all-inclusive system that makes it simple to return and dispose of your pharmaceutical products responsibly. These facilities can order the MedFlats solution from their Wholesaler.

PharmaLink expands its portfolio by providing recall, returns processing and disposal services for manufacturers.

PharmaLink’s RxTakeBack® program provides pharmacies with an innovative method to safely comply with the requirements of the DEA Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, by creating an outlet for patients to dispose of unwanted medications including house-hold prescriptions and controlled substances.

Continuing its success of providing customer focused solutions to the healthcare supply chain, PharmaLink moves into the complex formerly occupied by Eckerd Drugs and designs and builds a state of the art Reverse Logistics center.

PharmaLink offers returns processing and disposal services for expired inventory with several wholesale distribution centers nationwide.
