Pharmacy, the nation’s largest privately owned specialty pharmacy,

announced Monday that Robert Fleckenstein will serve as the Vice President of

Operations overseeing the day-to-day operations of Diplomat’s National

Distribution Center, Patient Service Operations, Call Center, Oncology

Department and other patient facing services at Diplomat’s Corporate

report to Jeff Rowe, Sr. Vice President of Operations.

“We have complete confidence in Bob and feel very fortunate to have him

join us,” said Mr. Rowe. “His experience with National Operations and

continue to do what we do best; provide the very best high touch care for

patients who require high tech medications.”

“It is a very exciting time for Diplomat Pharmacy and I am very pleased

to be part of the team,” said Fleckenstein. “As the individual

responsible for operations at the new Great Lakes Biotech Center, I plan to

develop the training modules and management tools that allow us to continue

to grow efficiently and effectively without losing sight of the patient

care model, and the culture, that has allowed us to reach this point.”
