Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. (GRDN)

Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. is a pharmacy services company that supplies medications and related services to residents of long-term care facilities. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, it was founded in 2003 and completed its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange in 2024.

The company primarily serves assisted living communities, behavioral health facilities and group homes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, settings where residents often take many medications and staff need dependable dispensing and administration support. Guardian provides customized packaging, medication management technology, clinical consulting, and support with regulatory compliance, delivering prescriptions from a network of local pharmacies.

Its model combines local pharmacy teams that build relationships with facilities in their regions with centralized corporate support for purchasing, technology and administration, and it has grown both by opening new pharmacies and by acquiring existing ones.
