Partnership Spotlight: Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions and Southern New Hampshire Health

Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions and Southern New Hampshire Health have partnered to develop a retail pharmacy within Southern New Hampshire Health's Medical Center to enhance medication access and patient care convenience.

At Southern New Hampshire Health , a non-profit health system, the mission is simple but powerful: provide exceptional care that improves the health and well-being of those living in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.

Turning that mission into day-to-day care takes more than clinical excellence. It also takes strong pharmacy operations, reliable medication access, and the right infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of community members.

That is why we are proud to announce a new partnership between Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions and Southern New Hampshire Health. Together, we are collaborating to create a retail pharmacy space from the ground upto open this coming summer within their nationally recognized Medical Center, based in Nashua, NH.

Building pharmacy access close to home

Health systems across the country are navigating evolving patient expectations, workforce pressures, and tighter operating margins. Retail pharmacies can play an important role in meeting those challenges by expanding access, strengthening continuity of care, and giving communities a convenient option connected to the health system they trust.

This initiative is designed to help Southern New Hampshire Health bring that vision to life through a thoughtful, health system-aligned retail pharmacy that supports an enhanced patient experience and stronger coordination for medication access.

Trust and partnership matter

This collaboration reflects a long-standing commitment to working with partners who understand the needs of regional-based health systems. Michael Kleinschmidt, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President at Southern New Hampshire Health, brings prior experience partnering with Cencora from his time at a previous health system, and that history of collaboration helped establish a strong foundation for how we move forward together.

We’re building pharmacy services that make care more seamless for our patients and more supportive for our clinicians and employees, said Kleinschmidt. “At the end of the day, this initiative is about creating a more cost-effective, convenient experience for patients, whether they are receiving care in primary care, specialty care, or at our medical center, and making it easier for them to access the medications they rely on.
