Value Drug Company and American Well Together Provide Telehealth Opportunities to More than 600 Pharmacies Nationwide

PENNSYLVANIA – August 23, 2016 – Value Drug Company, a Pennsylvania-based wholesale distributor, has entered into an agreement with Boston-based American Well, a leading national telehealth technology and services company, to provide telemedicine services 24/7/365 to more than 600 independent pharmacies and their customers.

This collaboration represents an unprecedented use of telemedicine services to address the shortage of medical professionals in rural and underserved areas. Patients will be able to access medical care, behavioral health therapists and registered dieticians within minutes from the comfort of their own home by going to www.ValueHealth.Amwell.com, or by visiting one of the Value Health Centers inside participating pharmacies.

“Telehealth in the pharmacy setting is a great opportunity to provide consumers with access to care in a way that fits into their busy lives, creating a more comprehensive pharmacy experience,” said Danielle Russella, President, Client Solutions, American Well. “We applaud Value Drug for their vision of delivering telehealth to their pharmacy partners. Pharmacy services that include care – in the home or in the store – bring us to a new level of care delivery.”

Healthcare has changed over the past few years and traditional medical care is more challenging to obtain with the increase in visit requests and limited physician availability. Telemedicine provides a proven alternative when traditional medical visits are not readily available.

“We are pleased to be offering these cutting-edge services to our members,” said Greg Drew, President of Value Drug Company. “The independent pharmacies are the perfect location for telemedicine services with the availability of clinicians, prescription medications, over-the-counter products and medical supplies that may be prescribed during the visit.”

All medical visits are with board certified, U.S.-trained physicians.
