ICYMI - Gifthealth Celebrates Grand Opening of New Pharmacy in Mesa

Gifthealth, a unified digital pharmacy platform, today celebrated the grand opening of its state-of-the-art pharmacy located in Mesa. The new pharmacy represents a significant milestone, marking Gifthealth's expansion into the Southwest.

The 43,000-square-foot facility will support up to 200 new, highly-skilled jobs. The Mesa Gifthealth pharmacy will incorporate state-of-the-art robotic assisted processing of up to 28,000 medications per day. Gifthealth will partner with UPS and utilize a new RFID scanning and twin packaging technology that will allow medications to be delivered faster, more accurately and tracked in real time to patients nationwide. Automation will help Gifthealth increase capacity, efficiency, and quality of the products shipped. Gifthealth's Digi+Hub model merges the speed of digital pharmacy with the flexibility of hub services, eliminating friction, reducing delays, and ensuring more patients start and stay on therapy.

"This grand opening is a pivotal moment in our mission to simplify and unify the entire patient prescription journey," said Chip Parkinson, CEO of Gifthealth. "The Mesa facility significantly enhances our national capacity, allowing us to deliver a fast, reliable, and truly frictionless experience to millions of patients who depend on us for their care."
