In April 2002 the first prescription at Genoa Healthcare was filled in the back room of a little independent pharmacy in Renton, WA. At this time we were a clozapine management company. By working with clozapine clients Genoa discovered the special medication needs of the mental health population. Genoa learned these needs were not being met by outside pharmacies, so CEO Kevin Martyn decided to create a pharmacy that would meet the needs of the people who work hard to take care of those with mental illness.
Genoa first started opening pharmacies in the Pacific Northwest in clinics that were in need of dedicated, specialized pharmacy services. Interest began to spread across the country as other mental health organizations and clinics learned of the services we provide. In 2003 Genoa began expanding this unique pharmacy service across the nation.
We remained flexible to the many mental health delivery models across the country and developed services within our pharmacies to meet the needs of those specific models. None of our service models or pharmacies are the same. We take pride in not being a "cookie cutter" organization, and continue to seek opportunities nationwide to help mental health communities with their pharmacy services.
Today, we operate 84 pharmacies throughout 26 states, providing services to over 110,000 clients each year. We strive to be the partner and provider of choice to our agency partners and clients. Our value added services enhance the lives of the clients we serve - discover the difference that Genoa can make today!
