Summary · why it matters

EPIC Pharmacies, Inc., known as EPIC Rx, announced on October 1, 2026 an expanded wholesale distribution model that gives its member pharmacies a choice of primary wholesale partners. Under the new approach, each member pharmacy can select between two primary wholesale distribution partners, McKesson and Morris & Dickson, along with three secondary partners: Anda, Masters, and EPIC Rx SelectFill. EPIC Rx CEO Brian Hose said broadening the wholesale network puts more decision-making power in the hands of members and gives them flexibility to choose what works best for their pharmacies. Todd Laser, Senior Vice President of Retail at Morris & Dickson, said the agreement gives independent pharmacy customers greater choice and a stronger path to compete by combining EPIC Rx's collective strength with Morris & Dickson's service and supply-chain capabilities. EPIC Rx is a nationwide, member-owned buying group that supports independent pharmacies with group purchasing value and compliance assistance.
