About this listen

 In this high-impact episode, Todd Eury leads a grounded and insightful discussion about smarter pharmacy purchasing in one of the most challenging business climates pharmacy has ever faced. Joined by Josh Miller of HAC Pharmacies and SureCost founder Calvin Hunsicker, the conversation reveals both the pain points and the real-world solutions driving meaningful change for pharmacy leaders. Josh shares how managing procurement for 24 pharmacy locations used to mean hours of manual price comparisons and reactive decisions. That changed when his team adopted SureCost—resulting in over $200,000 in savings every four months. Josh walks listeners through the implementation journey, staff adoption, and the purchasing tools that now empower his team to make confident, data-driven decisions. Calvin brings industry-wide context with findings from the 2025 Smarter Purchasing Report, highlighting stubborn inefficiencies in pharmacy procurement and why so many organizations still rely on outdated processes. He unpacks key data trends, the surprising insights from this year’s report, and what leaders can take away to begin transforming their own operations. This episode is more than a success story—it’s a strategic playbook for pharmacy operators who are ready to lead through disruption, adapt to pricing volatility, and take back control of their margins. 💡 Key Takeaways:
  • Manual purchasing processes are costing pharmacies more than they realize.
  • Centralized tools like SureCost drive savings, streamline decisions, and improve visibility.
  • Leadership mindset—not just tools—is what separates the thriving from the stagnant.
