SpecialtyRx Scales Long-Term Care Pharmacy to 350,000 Patients
Expanding from three locations to fifteen in just five years, SpecialtyRx now manages daily medication delivery for 350,000 patients across 18 states. The Ridgefield Park-based firm currently supports 1,150 healthcare facilities, processing over 55,000 prescriptions every day to meet the rising demand for post-acute care pharmacy services.

To maintain this scale, the company has integrated a technology-driven workflow designed to reduce friction in medication management. Co-founder Chesky Berkowitz emphasizes that the pharmacy’s model relies on evolving alongside facility needs, using digital tools to improve visibility and compliance at the point of care. As the company looks to widen its national footprint, it aims to balance this high-volume output with the personalized service standards that defined its early development.
