We are on a mission to serve safety net clinics

Alchemy is the culmination of everything we have worked on and dedicated ourselves to throughout our careers, and its mission is woven into the fabric of our lives and why we do what we do. Together, we have spent 18 years in Africa building the largest HIV access program in the world, set up, operated, and scaled pharmacies that have dispensed over 25M+ prescriptions to patients across all 50 states in the US, and deployed consumer product experiences improving pharmacy access for millions of patient lives globally.

We believe deeply in the mission of safety net providers that provide care for our most vulnerable communities. In our experience, safety net clinics truly provide the complex, multi-faceted services their populations need to access healthcare — where so many challenges patients face are about the social determinants of health, from navigating complex economic barriers to care, to nutrition, transportation, language support, and behavioral health.

We got started in the early 2000s from the goodwill and support of a 340B STD Clinic in inner-city Indianapolis that actually helped launch the program in Africa where Susie and Peter met, lived, trained, and worked. And out of this goodwill, seeded HIV prevention & treatment services for over 18 million patient lives in western Kenya, and today across 4 countries and 3 continents.

We launched Alchemy because there is an urgent moment today impacting the American healthcare safety net. Almost overnight, the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) shifted the goalposts for how safety net providers access a critical source of program funding - resources these safety net providers rely on to sustain healthcare services for millions of Americans.

We’re on a mission to solve this for our covered entity partners and their patients. We’d love to hear from you, please drop us a line at hello@alchemyhealth.com.
