WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — OneroRx, an integrated pharmacy serving underserved markets, has completed its acquisition of 14 NuCara Pharmacy and 10 Home Medical Equipment locations in Iowa and Minnesota, bringing its total to 91 locations across eight Midwest states, employing over 1,000 team members.
OneroRx operates as the largest franchisee of the Medicap Pharmacy brand owned by Cardinal Health. Through this acquisition, OneroRx becomes the largest rural-based pharmacy in the state of Iowa, filling more than 5 million prescriptions per year. With this purchase, OneroRx expands availability and services for home medical equipment, meeting a growing need.
“We are excited to announce the completion of this acquisition of select NuCara Pharmacies and Home Medical stores,” said Joseph Dunham II, CEO and President of OneroRx. “Our focus remains to provide rural access to pharmacy care at affordable prices. This mission began with our founder, John Pappajohn, who served on the OneroRx board of directors from 2018 until his passing in 2023.”
OneroRx leads the industry by focusing on personalized, community-based care and combining expert pharmacist guidance with innovative, convenient services. These services include prescription delivery, medication synchronization, multi-dose packaging, 24/7 kiosk access, compounding services, critical support for long-term-care patients, and home medical equipment.
Acquired NuCara locations will be newly branded as Medicap Pharmacy or Medicap Home Medical. This process has started and will continue over the next several weeks.
