Walter Cook and Willis Schwendeman started
Schwendeman and Cook Drug Store in downtown Lancaster, Ohio in 1947 after both
returned home from the war. The building they purchased was built before the
Civil War and until recently was still being used by us.
With steady growth they incorporated under the name
Heritage, which was taken from the name of the local historical district that
included the downtown district and their building.
Heritage Pharmacy specialized in free delivery, home
medical equipment sales and rental as well as medical, hernia and ostomy
supplies. They were the first drugstore in our area to use a computer to fill
prescriptions.
Their business included retail customers, early
nursing and group homes, county government, private and public clinics, doctor
offices and more.
In 2005, we had one skilled facility and a main
street retail pharmacy. Then we joined two of the largest group purchasing
co-ops in the North America, moved to a larger location and expanded our
inventory to include more medications, medical equipment and supplies.
We are the only combination institutional-pharmacy
and full-line medical supplier in Ohio!
Our ability to customize prices and services for
each customer as well as offering same day delivery on both supplies and
medications have contributed to our growth. Our customers have enjoyed
getting emergency medical supply items along with their medication
deliveries.
Using our membership in the largest, independent
medical products buying group in North America, we offer medical supplies,
equipment, textiles/linens and even leasing to facilities. We have
access to over 100,000 healthcare items at contract pricing.
Our goal has always been to "Beat Our Competitor's
Pricing While Exceeding Their Service!" We have been successful and will
put that statement in a verbal or written contract.
We hope you give us an opportunity to prove our
abilities!
