About
Pioneers
Rx Specialties Pharmacy began in 1997 from the mind of the trailblazing founder, Herb Shanbaum.
Herb Shanbaum knew that individuals with special needs and long-term care facilities (LTC Facilities) needed a pharmacy to provide solutions that no other retail pharmacies could provide.
Thus, in July of 1997, Herb Shanbaum founded Rx Specialties Pharmacy at its Roseville, Michigan location, and, in 2003 at another large building location which it owns so that Rx Specialties could provide all medication and services that LTC Facilities/Special Individuals need.
Rx Specialties Pharmacy has serviced hundreds of homes and individuals. Rx Specialties takes pride in servicing LTC homes and individuals now and in the future.
Rx Specialties Pharmacy’s first goal is to provide each LTC Facility and Individual with the information and services needed to succeed.
Rx Specialties Pharmacy’s next goal is to offer its clients with a simple and complete pharmacy care solution to all of its needs.
Finally, Rx Specialties strives to provide the most efficient and cost-effective way to do business.
