Many people struggle to grow their families, so they turn to fertility treatments. However, the process can be confusing and not personal. SMP Pharmacy decided to change that by streamlining the process and making it easier on patients and nurses, alike.
In today’s episode, we talk with Pam Schumann, CEO of SMP Pharmacy, about why she saw the need for a new fertility management program, how to set your business up for acquisition, how to build a tech company, and so much more.
“What I brought to them was, I call it a modern look at what a fertility pharmacy could be.” – Pam Schumann
