It is based at 141 Preble St., just a block from the retail pharmacy. As a specialty pharmacy, Apothecary by Design focuses on medications for chronic illnesses, such as hepatitis C, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis. CVS spokeswoman Amy Lanctot said the company may expand the services available at the Apothecary by Design location to include care coordination, patient education and adherence management. Those services are available at most CVS Specialty locations, she said. Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, Village is a nationally recognized fertility-focused specialty pharmacy.

BelHealth bought a controlling interest in Apothecary by Design in September 2015. It then sold the company’s retail pharmacy, which is located at 84 Marginal Way, nearly two years ago to a partnership that included two employees. The retail pharmacy was rebranded as Coastal Pharmacy & Wellness. That allowed Apothecary by Design to focus on specialty medications and its compounding business at its Preble Street location. Healy patients will continue to receive the same personalized care, from the same location, according to Jack Quinnert, Healy's pharmacist in charge. The pharmacy's staff and leadership will remain in place, he added.

The sale to CVS did not include Village Fertility Pharmacy, a Waltham, Massachusetts-based fertility business that was part of Apothecary by Design but is being retained by BelHealth. Apothecary by Design purchased that specialty pharmacy in October 2016. CVS Health purchased the Portland pharmacy, which focuses on treatments for chronic diseases, on Sunday from BelHealth, a private equity firm, a CVS spokeswoman said. One of Portland’s fastest-growing companies, Apothecary by Design, has been purchased by an $80 billion health care company.

CVS Specialty is the nation’s largest specialty pharmacy. CVS Specialty patients receive ongoing disease education, counseling, and benefits verification, as well as coordination of care with multiple health care providers, comprehensive patient education and adherence management. “CVS Health will operate the company’s Portland facility … and provide specialty pharmacy services to patients through CVS Specialty, the specialty pharmacy business of CVS Health,” Lanctot said.

CVS made the purchase on Sunday from private equity firm BelHealth, which bought a majority stake in Apothecary by Design about two years ago. BelHealth will continue to own Apothecary by Design's compounding pharmacy and fertility business. Currently, 40% of Apothecary by Design's business is from out of state.

FAME approved the loan guarantee in 2012 when Apothecary by Design had 38 employees. The goal was to help the company retain and create jobs, which it has done. In its first year of operation, Apothecary by Design had the equivalent of about 19 full-time employees and generated sales of roughly $3.6 million. Now it has 65 employees and projected annual revenue of $85 million, McAuliffe said.

But if you prefer to pick it up, we can have it available for you at any CVS Pharmacy location. The company sells medications used to treat HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, autoimmune disorders and a range of illnesses and diseases, with employees that year numbering 142 total, 79 of whom were in Portland. Today Apothecary By Design serves patients throughout the country. “The location itself is going to remain the same, it’s the same team and the same continued commitment to everyone we serve,” Brooks told Mainebiz on Monday.

The company was founded in 2008 by three pharmacists – Tom Madden, Joe Lorello and Greg Boucouvalas – along with McAuliffe and Cloudman, who have business backgrounds. Apothecary by Design co-founder Mark McAuliffe clearly remembers a day when the company was not growing. PORTLAND — Apothecary By Design, a specialized pharmaceutical company based in Bayside, will be acquired by CVS Health.

But the biggest threat could be from online pharmacies, whose popularity has been growing rapidly, McAuliffe said. Apothecary by Design does not offer online services, although it does some of its business by mail order. The accreditation will help the company grow, but there will be challenges, McAuliffe said. The pharmacy industry is dominated by large retail chains.

Another important aspect of the specialty pharmacy is disease management – making sure patients understand the stages of their medical condition, manage the side effects of treatment and continue to take their medication as directed. Apothecary by Design specializes in the treatment of complex, chronic conditions and serves patients across the U.S. The pharmacy was founded nearly a decade ago, and was listed last year as one of Inc’s 5,000 fastest growing companies in the US. Apothecary by Design has its headquarters at 141 Preble St. and a retail store at 84 Marginal Way.
