Guardian Pharmacy has bought Pharmacy Concepts in Arlington, TX, in partnership with Melissa Deas, PharmD.

Pharmacy Concepts was founded in 2000 and has 50 employees. Deas has 20 years of experience and will join Pharmacy Concepts as the owner and president. By partnering with Guardian, Deas will be able to focus on local needs of her customers while Guardian oversees corporate issues such as payroll and IT, the company said.

“Melissa’s extensive knowledge and experience in the pharmaceutical industry will be a tremendous asset as we look to deliver the best pharmacy care to the underserved senior market in Texas,” said Fred Burke, CEO and co-founder of Guardian Pharmacy.
