CHICAGO, IL, September 15, 2020 - SpendMend, a portfolio company of Sheridan Capital Partners (“Sheridan”), announced recently the acquisition of Turnkey Pharmacy Solutions (“Turnkey”) and Elevate340B (“Elevate”). Founded in 2012 by a team of pharmacy leaders, Turnkey has a strong presence within the 340B audit and compliance services market and has performed over 1,000 340B audits at hospitals and clinics across the country.

The joint end-to-end offering will re-launch as SpendMend Pharmacy, specializing in compliance, optimization and growth services for 340B programs at hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities across the U.S.

“The Turnkey and Elevate340B solutions integrate perfectly into our existing suite of cost cycle management, spend visibility, and compliance solutions and will help us to realize a swift delivery of SpendMend Pharmacy to the marketplace,” says Dan Geelhoed, CEO of SpendMend. “Our mission is to help hospitals improve patient care through the delivery of our innovative cost-savings solutions. We believe our 340B solutions will go a long way to help support the bottom line of hospitals so they can focus on delivering superb patient care.”
