One Member, One Vote
American Pharmacies is 100 percent owned and operated by independent pharmacy owners and each member stockholder has one vote. As a shareholder, you are encouraged to use your vote to take an active role in determining how American Pharmacies can best serve your needs. Our board of directors and members direct the actions of our staff.
Political Action
APRx G-PAC Honor Roll
American Pharmacies maintains a strong, aggressive effort to advocate our members’ views on the political, legislative, and regulatory issues
which are important to the viability of independent pharmacies.
American Pharmacies has a political action committee registered with the Texas Ethics Commission as American Pharmacies GPAC. American Pharmacies members contribute to the PAC and the funds are contributed to state legislative and statewide office candidates
who share our members’ views, and support issues important to independent community pharmacies and small business.
Group Purchasing Power
American Pharmacies maximizes your profitability by delivering revenues back to you through quarterly generic rebates, annual dividends, and discounted products and services.
Trusted Wholesaler Partners
By leveraging the ever-growing combined buying power of our membership, we continually negotiate competitive prices on pharmaceuticals to allow you to compete effectively with chain pharmacies. We have strong, non-adversarial relationships with trusted wholesaler partners committed to meeting your expectations.
Generic Drug Program
Historically, 100 percent of rebate dollars flow back to American Pharmacies’ stockholders who participate in our generic drug program. Quarterly rebates are distributed as patronage rebates, in accordance with your gross purchase of generics under the program.
Vendor Discounts
American Pharmacies negotiates deep discounts with a variety of vendors on behalf of our members. We continually identify, evaluate, and pursue agreements with suppliers whose products and services can benefit your bottom line. And vendors pursue us, wanting to benefit from our growing buying capacity.
Value-Added Resources
American Pharmacies programs and services keep you informed and help you develop professionally. Our American Pharmacies newsletter keeps you current on the issues and news that affect your business. Our website makes it easy to access up-to-date program information, vendor and products directories, and industry resources.
