Cencora launches cell and gene therapy service to help health systems scale advanced treatment programmes

Cencora has launched Cell and Gene Therapy Enablement through its Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions division to help health systems develop and expand cell and gene therapy programmes.

The offering includes market assessments, readiness evaluations, governance design, and workflow planning. Cencora, ranked number 10 on the Fortune 500 with over $300 billion in annual revenue, already provides specialty pharmaceutical services across the therapy lifecycle.
