CENTENNIAL, CO, February 25, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The market expansion of a leader in the pharmacy benefit industry will bring more than 100 new jobs to Lakeland in 2009. WellDyneRx is opening their world-class pharmacy mail service facility on March 5, 2009. The creation of 100 new jobs in 2009 is just the beginning of the hiring cycle. WellDyneRx is forecasting to add an additional 578 jobs through the end of 2010.
"We are very excited that our continued business growth is allowing us to expand into the Florida market," says Damien Lamendola, President and CEO of WellDyne. "During this period of tough economic times, it is especially rewarding to be involved in a business that is creating new employment opportunities. Our business is healthy and strong, and we are excited to find the best employees in the Lakeland area to join our team."
WellDyneRx has operated a Pharmacy Mail Service facility in Colorado for more than 20 years. The growth of the company requires an additional facility to handle capacity demands. By opening a second facility in Florida, WellDyneRx is able to geographically balance their operations and provide secure back-up facilities for their growing customer base.
"We are investing in the future of our company, and the future of Lakeland," said Susan Cain, Chief Operating Officer. "We are putting in place the most advanced prescription mail service technology in the nation. Our investment of $20 million into our Lakeland facility provides us with the capacity to fill over 30 million prescriptions per year with incredible efficiency, safety and cost effectiveness."
The new 66,000 square foot facility utilizes an advanced robotic dispensing and distribution system that enhances the practice of pharmacy. The new technology increases patient safety, improves pharmacy efficiency and sets new benchmarks for quality, productivity and customer satisfaction. The robotic system frees up pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from counting pills, to focusing on direct patient care. The nearly 700 new jobs being created are for a wide range of positions. They include: pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, call center professionals, sales, account management, accounting and information technology.
