In 2006, AmeriPharma founder and CEO Andrew Harper had a vision that challenged pharmacy standards: a community pharmacy that delivers reliable service, personal-attention, confidence, and convenience to the community without sacrificing functionality and efficiency.
After graduating from State University of NY at Oswego and the Albany College of Pharmacy Harper began his professional career as a Pharmacy District Manager with Rite Aid Corp, gaining the necessary management experience to found a pharmacy that could offer both cultural and technological diversity. Hailing from a small town in upstate New York with a population of about 10,000 residents, Harper knew that a true sense of community came from genuinely caring about people. The motto “We Care!” was born as the central force that would drive every action and decision made for the company.
Surrounded by a team of dedicated professionals that share these values, Harper was able to establish AmeriPharma as a true and trusted pharmacy services provider. In the interest of the community, Harper’s Pharmacy began by responding to the demands from local Long Term Care (LTC) facilities and quickly rose to the pharmacy of choice for many local facilities in the Southern California region. Growing steadily and rapidly in the LTC industry, Harper’s Pharmacy converted its operations from retail to “closed door” and began its rapid growth as the uncontested leader for institutional pharmacy services in the area and operating in its own multi-story building in the heart of Orange, CA.
At the heart of the pharmacy lies the core idea of innovating current practices, utilizing the right state-of-the-art technology. From intake to delivery and from billing to reporting, AmeriPharma relies on the latest technology, automation, research, software, and processes to maximize operational efficiency, reduce costs to clients, and maintain personal accountability.
Currently, Harper’s Pharmacy operates three divisions in more than 30 states and U.S. territories: AmeriPharma Specialty Care, AmeriPharma Infusion Center, and MedBox. The mission for each division is simple: to provide excellent pharmacy services and enhance patient quality of life. AmeriPharma leads the industry by example, striving towards efficiency, innovation, precision and higher level of pharmacy care.
