Who We Are



Stellar Pharmacy Services, Inc., doing business as Stellar Rx, is a unique, privately held closed-door Wholesale and Specialty Pharmacy located in Avondale, Pennsylvania. Our company is owned and operated by highly experienced pharmacy executives dedicated to modernizing medication distribution practices.

We started our business in 2013 in our home state of Pennsylvania on a mission to provide point-of-care Asthma & Family Planning products to underserved populations. Our successes in Pennsylvania quickly proved to deliver positive health outcomes to our patients, providers and health plans. These best practices enabled us to replicate our medication distribution model to 3 additional states, with several more in various stages of development.
