Premier Inc., a US-based healthcare improvement company, has taken over Lincare’s national specialty pharmacy business – a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Linde Group.
The $75m acquisition will also see Premier attain Acro Pharmaceutical Services, LLC and Community Pharmacy Services, LLC. The transaction is expected to close by or before 30th September 2016.
Durral R. Gilbert, President of Premier’s supply chain services segment, highlighted, “This acquisition will expand and diversify both our special pharmacy patient base and disease treatments.
