Clearway Health and Middlesex Hospital Join Forces to Open First Specialty Pharmacy for Health System

New program will enhance medication options, reduce financial burden and improve clinical outcomes for patients

BOSTON, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearway Health, a specialty pharmacy services company partnering with hospitals and health systems to build and strengthen specialty pharmacy programs, has joined forces with Middlesex Hospital based in Middletown, Connecticut. Together, they will create and operate a specialty pharmacy and provide surrounding services to ensure Middlesex Hospital patients are connected to vital specialty medications.

Serving patients throughout Middlesex County and along the Connecticut shoreline, Middlesex Hospital currently provides inpatient pharmacy services at its hospital in Middletown but does not provide any pharmacy services for patients who are not staying at the hospital.

"Offering specialty medication through a Middlesex Hospital specialty pharmacy will help to make health care more convenient for our patients," said Vincent G. Capece, Jr., president and CEO of Middlesex Health. "We always strive to provide the best care and experience possible, and this is just one more way we can help make life easier for those navigating a complex or chronic medical condition."

"We commend Middlesex Hospital's commitment to expand pharmacy services from a traditional, inpatient care setting to an outpatient service line through specialty pharmacy," said Allison Arant, senior vice president, client development and marketing, Clearway Health. "Their vision is to be the clear, first choice for medical care. Now, with our partnership, they will be the distinguished, first choice provider of specialty pharmacy services to their patients. We are honored that Middlesex Hospital has chosen Clearway Health as their partner and are grateful for their trust and commitment to our partnership and mutual success."
