FLINT, Mich., November 3, 2011 – Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy, the nation’s largest, privately owned specialty pharmacy, announced today that they are the recipient of MichBio’s Good to Great Award.

“The award is made in recognition of Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy as a company whose business concept, entrepreneurialism, leadership, work ethic and products have melded in just the right way to produce a leap forward in the past year,” said Stephen Rapundalo, Ph.D.; President and CEO of MichBio in a statement.

Rapundalo continued, “MichBio views Diplomat as a strong and visible indicator that our industry is thriving here in Michigan and that the outlook for the state’s biosciences sector seems positive. Success breeds success, and Diplomat’s tremendous strides in commercialization will serve as a beacon for others.”

“This is another great recognition for our entire team for our consistent hard work and effort.” said Diplomat’s President and CEO, Phil Hagerman. “Despite our unprecedented growth over the years, we’ve continued to stay dedicated to our patient focused model and achieved a 99% customer satisfaction response from our 2011 patient satisfaction survey. We could not achieve this without a tremendous staff committed to finding solutions for both patients and our healthcare partners.”

Hagerman will attend the MichBio conference and accept the award. The award presentation is scheduled for 2:30 pm at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, MI.
