Foundation Care Earns Accreditation by National Association of Boards of Pharmacy®
September 10, 2009 - Foundation Care, St. Louis, Missouri, has received accreditation from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) as a Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributor® (VAWD®). The Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributor’s (VAWD) program provides assurance that the accredited facility operates legitimately, is licensed in good standing, and is employing security and best practices for safely distributing prescription drugs from manufacturers to pharmacies, physicians and other institutions. Applicants for VAWD accreditation undergo a criteria compliance review, licensure verification, a facility inspection and survey, background checks, and screening through the NABP Clearinghouse.
"We sought accreditation by VAWD in order to demonstrate our commitment to providing the highest standards in pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostic distribution," says Daniel Blakeley, CEO of Foundation Care. "This accreditation also expands our capabilities to provide clinical trial, sample and specialty distribution to our manufacturing partners with unique distribution challenges."
With this accreditation, Foundation Care joins industry giants like Cardinal Health, AmerisourceBergen, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-Mart, and other commercial enterprises involved in the supply chain to distribute medical products and prescription drugs.
