Beginning his career as a pharmacist, Sam has advanced through many different sectors of the pharmacy industry.  While owning multiple independent pharmacies across several states, he recognized the need for an organization dedicated to supporting independent pharmacies in their growth and success.

United Pharmacy Network (UPN) has since become one of the tristate area’s largest and most trusted group purchasing organizations for independent pharmacies. With a combined 100+ years of experience in retail pharmacy, UPN has built strong alliances with key industry partners, enabling its members to maximize growth opportunities.

Serving over 450 community pharmacy members, UPN provides exclusive, pharmacy-focused services—including competitively priced generic and brand-name medications, strategic marketing support, and customer-driven programs. With a steadfast commitment to care, compliance, and value-driven solutions, we equip our members with the resources and competitive edge needed to thrive in today’s evolving pharmacy landscape.
