As part of the integration, RxS Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Mark Jara will join Medvantx as Senior Vice President, Samples Platform, to oversee the harmonization of services and maintain continuity for existing RxS clients.
Founded in 2000, Medvantx is recognized for operating one of the largest independent dispensing pharmacies in the U.S., with a team of over 100 clinical professionals providing pharmaceutical counseling, education, and drug interaction monitoring. With this acquisition, the company strengthens its position as a data-driven pharmacy partner offering compliant, scalable solutions to help more patients access essential medications—efficiently, safely, and consistently.
