Rockford bought his first retail pharmacy in Clarion, IA with a local nursing home as the pharmacy’s sole long-term care customer. Rockford quickly realized that LTC patients required special care from their provider and that facility CMS regulations were burdensome and difficult to fulfill without a strong pharmacy partner. Because of this, Rockford separated his long-term care business from his retail customers and helped grow the Ankeny LTC pharmacy into one of the fastest growing pharmacies in the state.
