A NEW MOMENT TO SEIZE

Our retail heritage has enabled us to deliver care to millions of customers across the country, and now gives us the opportunity to do the same with specialty patients by offering greater convenience and choice. Since our inception in 2008, we’ve seen significant shifts in how health care is delivered, as well as the ways in which patients and consumers want healthcare services delivered. *Specialty Health Network by Shoppers™* continues to lead the way by seizing this exciting time in Canadian healthcare.

LOOKING BACK :

Specialty Health Network by Shoppers™ was formed on July 2, 2008 following the purchase of Calea Health Access from Fresenius Kabi by Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. Calea Health Access, previously known as Caremark, provided patient assistance and call centre programs in Canada for over 15 years.

Specialty Health Network by Shoppers™ has provided patient assistance services in the Canadian marketplace for more than 20 years, serving thousands of patients coast to coast.

Our heritage is based on a wealth of experience in the specialty marketplace; our vision and commitment is to provide a national specialty pharmacy network that allows patients across Canada to receive high-quality support and service.

Today, we continue to focus on the patient first and foremost, with an understanding of the needs of our partners.

Looking Ahead

Our vision for the future remains unchanged – focus on the patient first and foremost, while understanding the needs of our partners.

Through the guidance and foresight of our leadership team, Specialty Health Network by Shoppers™ continues to lead the way in specialty pharmacy.
