About us
Credena Health was formed in 2015 to provide specialty medications and care nationwide. Beginning in 2019, Credena Health extended our care model to include community pharmacies. We belong to a larger health ecosystem, Providence, which is a not-for-profit network of hospitals, clinics, home health services, pharmacies, and health plans.
Credena Health continues the tradition of delivering the same compassionate care that the Sisters of Providence started nearly 160 years ago — we do more than dispense medication. Our dedicated team collaborates with patients to address financial concerns, answer questions, and coordinate with physicians and insurers. Our service is motivated by a desire to help patients achieve the best outcomes possible.
