Congratulations to Doug Towns, Guardian’s senior vice president, general counsel and senior compliance officer, on being named board chair for Angel Flight Soars, Inc.. What started as a passion for flying has grown into years of dedicated service, from volunteer pilot to board leadership, all in support of a mission that ensures no one is denied medical care due to travel barriers.

With a network of more than 1,600 volunteer pilots, Angel Flight Soars provides free flights for patients needing access to treatment, delivering not just transportation but hope and the chance for healing when it matters most. Doug’s leadership will help expand the organization’s reach, connecting more patients, pilots, and supporters to this life-changing mission.

We are proud to celebrate Doug as he takes on this important role and continues to help others reach the care they need.

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month recognizes the contributions and experiences of individuals with I/DD. But awareness is the starting point, not the goal. Real impact requires action that helps those we serve lead independent lives. In this ANCOR American Network of Community Options and Resources article, Kyle Simmons, co-president of Guardian Pharmacy Services’ Boomer Solutions, explores how LTC pharmacy support strengthens a community’s ability to deliver person-centered care, helping people with I/DD achieve greater autonomy and live their best lives every day of the year.

Long-term care administrators operate at the center of everything: staffing challenges, budget realities, family expectations, and clinical outcomes.

Our Story

Founded in 2004 in Atlanta, GA, Guardian Pharmacy Services and its partner pharmacies focus on providing exceptional customer service and patient care to long-term care facilities including assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities and behavioral health homes. Guardian's unique "local autonomy" business model allows partner pharmacies to operate as independent businesses, tailoring their services to the needs of customers in their respective markets. We take our responsibility to our customers and their residents very seriously, and always strive to make sure that every prescription we fill and every service we execute receives our utmost care and attention. In the end, customers are the winners as pharmacies devote more attention to them while still meeting the many demands of any business.
