DaVita Rx Announces Plans for New Specialty Pharmacy in Chandler ::
On Sept. 8, 2015, DaVita Rx, a full-service specialty pharmacy for patients with complex conditions, announced plans to open a new facility in Chandler by early 2016. The new facility will allow DaVita Rx, the nation's largest kidney care pharmacy, to further expand its reach in helping patients across the country gain access to specialty drugs and adhere to therapies.
The new 76,000-square-foot facility (located in the Price Corridor at 485 N. Juniper Drive) includes 10,000 square feet dedicated to specialty medication dispensing. At full capacity, the pharmacy will have approximately 550 new employees in clinical, dispensing, customer service, insurance and specialty operations roles.
"As healthcare moves to a more integrated, value-based model, this facility will allow us to support patients who face other complex conditions with the same high touch care that has been successful with kidney care patients," said
Javier Rodriguez,
CEO of
DaVita Kidney Care. "S
tudies have clearly shown that when dialysis patients enroll in the DaVita Rx program, they witness an improvement in the overall quality of care they receive."
"We are proud to welcome DaVita Healthcare Partners to Chandler," said Chandler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny. "This announcement represents an additional Fortune 500 company with operations in our City. We are pleased to see the healthcare community expand here, as we know that this is a continually emerging industry with quality, sustainable jobs. Additionally, this is a target of our economic development efforts, and we believe this announcement underscores that the City is a good place to do business, with an excellent workforce. We wish DaVita continued success, particularly in this new endeavor in Chandler."
