Our Story

How USave Got Started

A few guys named Bill Snodgrass and Mike Hamik looked around and realized independent pharmacies were getting squeezed from every direction.

Then you had Bill Hamik — who spent a long time as an executive vice president at McKesson, and he knew exactly how the system worked… and where it wasn't working for independents.

So instead of complaining about it, they did something about it. They built a buying group so independent pharmacies could lower their costs, share ideas, support each other, and actually compete with the chains without losing their soul in the process.

"Pharmacies aren't just businesses. They're legacies. Families. Communities. And some things are worth protecting, even if it means doing things the hard way."

IPC Partnership

National Buying Power.
Local Representation.

Through our partnership with IPC (Independent Pharmacy Cooperative), USave members gain access to the largest purchasing network for independent pharmacies in the country.

What This Means For You

IPC represents thousands of independent pharmacies nationwide, giving USave members access to manufacturer contracts and pricing that would be impossible to negotiate alone.

But here's what makes USave different: you don't just get a membership number and a portal login. You get dedicated local representation who knows your pharmacy, advocates for your needs, and ensures you capture every rebate dollar you've earned.
