Buy a Health Mart Pharmacy Franchise
Health Mart is one of the largest independent pharmacy franchise networks in the United States, operating as a subsidiary of McKesson Corporation through Health Mart Systems, Inc. Relaunched under its current model in 2006, the network now spans more than 4,500 locally owned pharmacies across all 50 states, collectively filling over 12.1 million prescriptions each month and supported by more than 25,000 engaged pharmacists.
Each pharmacy is independently owned and operated, allowing franchisees to deliver personalized, community-focused care while drawing on McKesson’s pharmaceutical supply chain and managed care network access. Services span the full range of community pharmacy: prescription management, immunizations, health screenings, patient counseling, and over-the-counter health and wellness products.
Health Mart’s franchisee support spans business operations tools, financial and reimbursement programs, marketing, and legislative advocacy. The affiliated Health Mart Atlas organization acts as the network’s pharmacy services administrative organization (PSAO), managing PBM contracting and third-party reimbursements. RxOwnership, a connected McKesson service, supports franchisees through pharmacy ownership transitions.

Why buy a Health Mart Pharmacy Franchise?
Choosing to buy a Health Mart Pharmacy franchise means joining a nationally recognized network backed by McKesson, one of the largest healthcare distributors in the United States. Membership provides access to McKesson’s pharmaceutical supply chain, preferred reimbursement programs, and marketing support designed to strengthen local pharmacy competitiveness against chains and mail-order providers.
Health Mart Atlas manages PBM contracting with over 62 payers and processes more than $34 billion in third-party reimbursements annually, a scale of managed care access that a standalone independent pharmacy would struggle to match. The annual McKesson ideaShare conference gives franchisees access to continuing education, peer networking, and industry advocacy.
