| Pharmacy model | Hims is unusually vertically integrated for a GLP-1 telehealth brand: Hims & Hers Health, Inc. owns and operates its own pharmacy and manufacturing chain rather than only contracting out. Per its FY2025 Form 10-K, the company operates two licensed 503A mail-order pharmacies that fill solely for its own customers - Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC and XeCare, LLC, both now wholly-owned subsidiaries - plus a licensed 503B outsourcing facility, MedisourceRx (acquired September 2024 as Seaview Enterprises, LLC, for $31.0 million; Los Alamitos, CA), which compounded its injectable semaglutide, and a peptide manufacturing facility. The consumer Terms also name third-party partner pharmacies (EHT Pharmacy LLC dba Curexa, CD Pharmacy LLC dba Red Rock Pharmacy, AnazaoHealth Corporation, and Strive Specialties, Inc.). During the April-June 2025 Novo Nordisk bundle, brand-name Wegovy was dispensed through Novo's own NovoCare Pharmacy accessed via the Hims platform. Prescriptions are written by providers in affiliated 'You Health' professional medical groups; Hims & Hers states in its Terms that it is not itself a healthcare provider. | Shed names its pharmacy partners in its terms: Strive Compounding Pharmacy (Gilbert, AZ), Promise Pharmacy (Palm Harbor, FL), and Foothills Professional Pharmacy (Tempe, AZ). Shed states it does not prescribe, dispense, or sell medications. |
