ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Guardian Pharmacy Services, one of the nation’s largest long-term care pharmacy companies, and San Diego, Calif. based Ron’s Pharmacy, a member of the Guardian family, are pleased to announce the acquisition of Anaheim Plaza Pharmacy. The newly acquired pharmacy will operate as Guardian Pharmacy of Anaheim and will continue serving existing residents as well as aid in the expansion of Guardian’s long-term care portfolio throughout Southern California.
Founded by Shannon Lew, Pharm D, Anaheim Plaza Pharmacy has provided pharmaceutical services to communities in Southern California for 30 years. During that time, the pharmacy has earned a reputation for exceeding customer expectations.
“As our pharmacy evolved, I knew we needed a partner that shared our focus on proactive customer service but could also help us meet the needs of the rapidly changing senior care industry,” said Shannon Lew. “The teams at Guardian and Ron’s Pharmacy are industry veterans who have demonstrated the attention to personal care that will help drive future success for our communities and their residents.”
