Apothecary by Design finds growth in the specialty pharmacy field
We've benefited from the confidence and support of others, including the Finance Authority of Maine, Bangor Savings Bank and the city of Portland. Finally, we've been aided by the growth of the specialty pharmacy market and legislation that allows us to compete with mail-order pharmacies and large chains. Through innovative pharmacy practice, Apothecary by Design aims to improve the quality and affordability of health care for the people we serve. We also serve health care practitioners, the organizations that pay for health care and even the manufacturers of medications that make good health possible. CVS began operating Apothecary By Design’s Portland facility at 141 Preble St. on Monday, providing specialty pharmacy services to patients through CVS Specialty, the specialty pharmacy business of CVS Health. The business has retained the Apothecary By Design name.

“All of my favorite restauranteurs that I looked up to getting into the industry have mostly closed the restaurants that they had open, like Roy [Choi], Eddie [Huang], Jon & Vinny’s. Data shows that this is a tough-ass industry.” Naran doesn’t foresee running restaurants “forever,” but recognizes the opportunities he has, financially and in terms of cultural collateral, at this moment. Even though Naran graduated from restaurant management school at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City with a dozen fully baked restaurant ideas in 2018, the timing to open Schezwan Club wasn’t always certain. On the patio, a marble horseshoe bar serves the same menu, but with a view of the river and an occasional Metro train speeding by.
Casandra Smith, who designed Pijja Palace’s modern sports bar interior, is charged with capturing Schezwan Club’s moodier vibe. “We’re having a lot of darker cherry woods, we might throw a neon sign in there. The 2,500-square-foot space, which is currently occupied by the Thai restaurant April 90’s Something, will seat 80 diners.

For nearly 30 years, Village has been providing exceptional service, clinical support and educational resources to fertility patients and clinics nationwide. The Company has built outstanding relationships with some of the largest payors in New England as well as key manufacturers of fertility products. The combination of ABD and Village significantly expands and enhances the business to better support patients nationally in the $1 billion fertility pharmacy market.

We've hired staff, added a new facility in Portland, built out our infrastructure and successfully completed the rigorous process of accreditation by two of health care's leading standard-setting organizations. CVS Health is buying ABD from its parent company, BelHealth Investment Partners.
