Middle Tennessee Pharmacy Services, in partnership with Guardian Pharmacy LLC, recently opened East Tennessee Pharmacy Services (ETPS) in Knoxville. This follows the group’s recent opening of Guardian Mid-South Pharmacy in Memphis.

The 6,000-square-foot Knoxville pharmacy will have 10 employees to start, with plans to grow. The pharmacies offer a seven-day post-consumption bill, which reduces costs 40% to 50% in comparison with the traditional 30-day billing cycle, the companies said. 

MTPS has partnered with Guardian Pharmacy since 2009. It earned the Guardian Pharmacy of the Year award in 2012.
