Avella Specialty Pharmacy was founded in 1996 as a single pharmacy in Phoenix, Arizona. We grew to multiple locations throughout metro Phoenix, as well as other cities across the country. In the fall of 2018, we joined UnitedHealth Group. Now part of Optum Specialty Pharmacy and the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, we bring breakthrough medications, innovative clinical pharmacy programs and technological tools to providers and patients across the nation. We create a viable level of access to many of the newest, most advanced medications in addition to a suite of tools that include mobile apps, text messaging tools and smart pill bottles. Optum Specialty Pharmacy is dedicated to empowering patients, providers and other organizations across the entire health care continuum. We are invested in improving the health—and the lives—of the people we serve. We accomplish this goal by acting as expert clinicians, passionate advocates, committed healthcare partners and strategic innovators.
