Penn Highlands Specialty Pharmacy Earns NABP Healthcare Merchant Accreditation

Penn Highlands Specialty Pharmacy has earned Healthcare Merchant Accreditation from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®).

Penn Highlands Specialty Pharmacy, located at 720 S. Main Street in DuBois, is a state-licensed pharmacy that provides medications for people with complex medical conditions, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders and other specialty conditions. The medications may require special handling, clinical support and administration.

"We are proud to earn Healthcare Merchant Accreditation from NABP,” said Michelle Bennett, Pharm D, BCPS, System Director, Retail Pharmacy, at Penn Highlands Healthcare. “This recognition reflects Penn Highlands Healthcare’s commitment to providing safe, high-quality specialty pharmacy services, and gives patients confidence that they are receiving care from a trusted healthcare partner.”

NABP’s Healthcare Merchant Accreditation was created to recognize safe and legitimate health care and health care-adjacent entities around the world. Healthcare Merchant Accreditation signifies to patients, providers, payers and online advertising platforms that the merchant holds required licensure and follows applicable laws and business best practices. In addition, accredited businesses must obtain and maintain an active pharmacy domain name (pennhighlandsspecialty.pharmacy) via NABP’s Pharmacy Registry, providing consumers an easy way to identify the site as a safe source for their healthcare needs.

“NABP congratulates Penn Highlands Specialty Pharmacy on achieving this important recognition,” said NABP Executive Director/Secretary Lemrey “Al” Carter, PharmD, MS, RPh. “By earning Healthcare Merchant Accreditation, they demonstrate their commitment to compliance and patient care.”
