RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. – SpecialtyRx has reached a major growth milestone, announcing that it now serves more than 350,000 patients annually and supports 1,150 healthcare facilities in 18 states, underscoring the company's rapid expansion in the long-term care pharmacy sector.
The privately held company said it has grown from three pharmacy locations in 2021 to 15 full-service pharmacies in less than five years. Today, SpecialtyRx produces more than 55,000 medications daily for skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, rehabilitation centers, and other post-acute care providers.
Company leaders attributed the growth to strong provider relationships and rising demand for pharmacy partners capable of managing the growing complexity of long-term care.
“Growth in healthcare is ultimately a reflection of trust,” said Joel Zupnick, founder of SpecialtyRx. “As long-term care providers face increasing clinical complexity and operational pressures, they need partners that can deliver consistency, reliability, and expertise at scale. We are honored that so many facilities have chosen SpecialtyRx to support their patients and caregivers.”
SpecialtyRx said technology has played a central role in its expansion strategy, with investments aimed at helping facilities streamline workflows, improve visibility into medication management and reduce operational burdens.
“The expectations placed on long-term care providers continue to evolve, and pharmacy must evolve with them,” said Chesky Berkowitz, founder of SpecialtyRx. “Our focus has always been on helping providers navigate these challenges while delivering the highest level of care to their residents.”
The company said its technology-enabled pharmacy platform is designed to improve efficiency, support better clinical outcomes, and help facilities maintain compliance and optimize operations.
As the long-term care industry continues to face staffing shortages, rising patient acuity, and increasing regulatory demands, SpecialtyRx said it plans to continue expanding its national footprint while maintaining the personalized service model that has fueled its growth.
SpecialtyRx is the nation's largest privately owned long-term care pharmacy, serving healthcare providers through a network of 15 pharmacy locations across 18 states.
