Specialty Pharmacy

What is a Specialty Pharmacy? 

If you’ve been referred to Emory’s Specialty Pharmacy, it’s because your doctor wants you to get expert support for a complex or long-term condition.

Specialty medications often require expert handling, close monitoring or help with insurance approvals—and that’s exactly what we’re here for. Our team will guide you every step of the way, making sure you understand your medication, how to take it safely and what to expect during treatment.
