TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2022 /CNW/ - CareRx Corporation ("CareRx" or the "Company") (TSX: CRRX), Canada's leading provider of pharmacy services to seniors living communities, today announced that it has expanded the scope and product offering of its medical supplies business under a new brand, Revicare™.

Revicare™ will offer a significantly expanded assortment of medical supplies, including incontinence products, nutritional supplements, wound care products and other general medical supplies. CareRx currently operates a successful incontinence supplies business under the brand ClassMed™ that predominantly supplies incontinence products to residents living in select seniors living communities.

"The launch of Revicare™ is a natural step following our significant growth that has expanded our reach to close to 100,000 residents across Canada, and is consistent with our strategic focus on seniors care," said Puneet Khanna, Chief Commercial Officer of CareRx. "We believe that our enhanced offering of medical supply products will provide added convenience to our home operator partners and their residents who are already receiving their medications from CareRx."

"Revicare™ reflects our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions to our home operator partners," said David Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer of CareRx. "Our national footprint, service model and customer relationships enable us to provide seniors living communities with a broad portfolio of services and products that they need to deliver outstanding care to their residents. Although pharmacy remains our primary strategic focus, an increased focus on the medical supplies business creates an opportunity to strengthen our value proposition to home operators while generating an additional driver of long-term growth."
