PharmaSource and Omnicare have combined resources allowing us to offer a full pharmacy service option through one of Omnicare's 200 pharmacy locations nationwide. Our off-site pharmacy model is designed for small and rural hospitals, behavioral health, rehabilitation, subacute hospitals and long-term care facilities.
