Specialty Pharmacy Times today announced it has joined with five specialty pharmacies as it expands its Strategic Alliance Partnership program. The new alliances facilitate collaboration and the exchange of knowledge among partners and increase the industrywide visibility of the participating pharmacy organizations.

“We are extremely proud of our partnership program and look to continue to build our trust with each of our partners as we provide quality content to meet the needs of our individual readers,” said Chris Hennessy, publisher of Specialty Pharmacy Times.

Joining Specialty Pharmacy Times are PANTHERx Specialty Pharmacy, ModernHEALTH Specialty Pharmacy, Ardon Health, PerformSpecialty and ReCept Specialty Pharmacy.

PANTHERx Specialty Pharmacy, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., strives to make the process of referring patients to its service quick and easy.
