American Associated Pharmacies and Pharmacy Development Services Announce Special Membership Program for AAP Pharmacies

Scottsboro, AL, January 9, 2017 (Newswire.com) - American Associated Pharmacies (AAP) and Pharmacy Development Services (PDS) today announced a partnership providing AAP pharmacies with a special membership with PDS which provides custom content and training to improve profitability, performance and people metrics for approximately 2,200 independent retail pharmacies across the United States.

“We approached this partnership opportunity with the goal of helping pharmacies improve their bottom line. Today’s business environment for independent pharmacies has created a challenging industry in which direct and indirect reimbursement limits and maximum allowable cost pricing are the norm. These changes have significantly cut into the profitability of the independent pharmacy,” said Jon Copeland, chief executive officer and president of AAP.  “We are excited to partner with PDS, an industry leader at helping independent pharmacies increase their profits and stay competitive in this ever-changing environment.” 

“The special AAP membership with PDS provides AAP members immediate access to strategies and training which will significantly improve gross margins in a relatively short period,” said Dan Benamoz, founder and chief executive officer of PDS.  “By providing AAP members with a customized opt in membership, we look forward to showing AAP pharmacies a new way to look at their business to improve gross margins and we are pleased to partner with AAP, a leading and well-respected cooperative serving independent pharmacies.”
