TAMPA, FLA., Apr 14, 2026 – (ACN Newswire) – Wellgistics Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:WGRX) (“Wellgistics” or the “Company”), a leading healthcare technology and pharmaceutical distribution company, today announced the execution of a definitive joint venture agreement with Kare PharmTech’s wholly owned subsidiary, Kare Rx Hub, LLC (“KareRx”), an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven digital hub supporting retail pharmacy, telemedicine, and specialty pharmaceutical programs.
The execution of the joint venture formalizes the previously announced non-binding letter of intent and represents a significant milestone in aligning both organizations’ technology platforms and operational teams into a unified ecosystem designed to accelerate patient access and improve the efficiency of pharmaceutical commercialization. By integrating the Wellgistics Hub technology stack including proprietary platforms EinsteinRx™ and HubRx AI™ with KareRx’s digital hub, the combined platform is positioned to streamline the prescription journey from intake through fulfillment.
Prashant Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Wellgistics Health, commented, “This joint venture reflects our continued focus on building an integrated, technology-enabled platform to improve coordination across the prescription journey and support patient access to therapies. By combining KareRx’s provider connectivity and digital engagement capabilities with our infrastructure, we believe this collaboration enhances operational efficiency and supports manufacturers and other healthcare stakeholders in navigating access pathways more effectively.”
The joint venture aligns clinical, operational, and commercial teams across both organizations, enabling more seamless coordination between providers, pharmacies, and patients. Through this integration, the platform enhances key capabilities including eligibility and benefits verification, prior authorization workflows, prescription routing, and direct-to-patient fulfillment. The combined ecosystem includes a growing national footprint of independent pharmacies, provider networks, and telehealth channels, with the ability to reach more than 200,000 patient lives based on third-party internal estimates.
Mital Panera, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of KareRx, added, “KareRx was developed to connect providers, pharmacies, and patients through technology-driven solutions. This joint venture allows us to extend those capabilities by leveraging Wellgistics’ technology stack, pharma expertise, and operational infrastructure. We believe the combined platform will support improved connectivity across stakeholders and facilitate access to therapies across participating networks.”
The collaboration further strengthens direct-to-patient (DTP) and decentralized care models, providing pharmaceutical manufacturers with a comprehensive platform that integrates access, affordability, and fulfillment into a single solution. Leveraging AI-driven insights and a fully integrated operational backbone, the joint venture is designed to reduce barriers to therapy initiation, improve adherence, and deliver enhanced visibility into patient access and program performance.
The joint venture remains subject to customary implementation steps, and there can be no assurance regarding the timing or extent of operational integration or the realization of anticipated benefits.
