Pharmacy Profiles, a leading provider of pharmacist identity and credentialing solutions, has announced a new partnership with McKesson Corporation to deliver credential verification services for McKesson’s Health Mart network of independent pharmacies.
Through this collaboration, Health Mart pharmacies will gain access to Pharmacy Profiles’ secure, pharmacist-focused digital platform, designed to simplify credentialing processes, strengthen compliance, and support the growing clinical responsibilities of pharmacists in community healthcare.
Pharmacy Profiles’ executive director, Mark Pilkington, was excited about the partnership and said the company is dedicated to providing Health Mart pharmacists with a cutting-edge, scalable solution that guarantees credentials are correct, easily accessible, and accepted in the larger healthcare system.
Created by the American Pharmacists Association, Pharmacy Profiles offers a comprehensive, technology-driven platform that verifies key professional qualifications such as education, licensure, certifications, and work experience. By adopting this solution, Health Mart pharmacies will be able to reduce administrative workload, operate more efficiently, and continue delivering care that meets the highest professional standards.
A network of about 4,500 independently owned community pharmacies across the country is represented by the McKesson-owned Health Mart brand. Known for their strong clinical expertise, Health Mart pharmacists work collaboratively within the healthcare system to help patients improve their health outcomes through personalized care and effective medication management.
Pharmacy Profiles, certified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Credentials Verification Organization, serves as a centralized and trusted repository for pharmacy professionals’ credentials. As a subsidiary of the American Pharmacists Association, the company leverages innovative information technology to ensure that pharmacists can maintain, update, and share their credentials with ease, enabling them to thrive in today’s evolving healthcare environment.
This strategic agreement reflects both organizations’ shared commitment to empowering pharmacists, reducing operational barriers, and enhancing patient care through verified, accessible, and trusted professional credentials.
