History
True to our promise: We’re there for you!
In 1977, a group of Quebec pharmacists came together to leverage their group purchasing power, without compromising their independence. Uniprix was born. Some 45 years later, the banner’s pioneers and early pharmacists still share the same ambition: to provide their customers the best possible service. To help them reach this goal, they can call on the expertise of the professionals at the head office. This valuable partnership helps the company expand and makes sure the pharmacist-owners truly are there for you.
Uniprix: A leader in Quebec’s retail pharmacy market
Uniprix Group and its banners—Uniprix, Uniprix Santé and Uniprix Clinique—employ thousands of people in hundreds of pharmacies throughout the province. Uniprix Group is one of the main players in Quebec’s retail pharmacy market and is the largest group of independent pharmacists in the province.
A new chapter in the story
In 2017, McKesson Canada acquired Uniprix shares. The acquisition seemed a natural step for these two companies deeply rooted in Quebec and already accustomed to working together to improve health services for Quebecers.
McKesson Canada is dedicated to improving health. It plays an essential role in health care and has a unique vision for the future. McKesson Canada works with insurers, hospitals, physicians’ offices, pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies and governments to build stronger organizations that deliver better health care to patients in all settings.
