Our CEO, Jason Dana Costa, sat down with Timothy A. Zercher on Tim Talks: Behavioral Health to share the story behind Horizon Pharmacy and the difference that thoughtful medication management makes for real people every day.
Medication isn’t just a product
At Horizon Pharmacy, we’ve always believed that medication isn’t just a product — it’s a lifeline. When someone in a behavioral health program, a long-term care community, or an aging population takes the right medication at the right time, the ripple effects are profound: fewer hospitalizations, lower costs, and a genuine improvement in quality of life.
In this conversation, Jason walks through what that looks like on the ground — and why so many people fall through the cracks when medication management isn’t prioritized.
One of the most important things we can do is make sure the people we serve never have to wonder whether they’re taking their medications correctly. That’s not a clinical nicety — it’s the foundation of good care.
Jason also shares the model that makes Horizon unique: a pharmacy built not just to be profitable, but to fund the behavioral health services our communities need most. When Horizon succeeds, those resources flow directly into nonprofit programs supporting people who might otherwise go without care.
The episode also covers how Horizon builds relationships — with providers, with partner organizations, and with the patients at the center of everything we do. It’s a conversation about trust, about mission, and about what it means to build a healthcare organization you’d actually want to exist in the world.
We’re grateful to Tim and the team at Tim Talks: Behavioral Health for the opportunity to share our story, and to everyone who continues to believe that better systems are possible.
