About Alchemy 

Alchemy is on a mission to serve safety net clinics and their patients. We build and operate in-house pharmacies with a focus on STD clinics, Ryan Whites, and FQHCs serving patients living with HIV and Hepatitis C. 

Our team has deep clinical pharmacy, technology, and operations experience. Together, we have spent 18 years in Africa building the largest HIV access program in the world, and we have set up, operated and scaled pharmacies that have dispensed over 25M+ prescriptions to patients across all 50 states in the US. After setting up a clinic’s in-house pharmacy, we design and implement clinical pharmacy programs and deploy technology products that leverage the pharmacy to expand patient reach, improve clinical outcomes, and increase the financial impact of their 340B program.
