Bellco Health

Bellco Health was a prominent independent distributor of brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, specialty healthcare products, and services. Based in New York, the company primarily served independent retail pharmacies, hospitals, and long-term care facilities across the Northeast United States. In 2007, Bellco Health was acquired by AmerisourceBergen for approximately $250 million to strengthen its market position in the independent pharmacy sector. At the time of its acquisition, Bellco was one of the largest privately held pharmaceutical distributors in the United States, generating annual revenues of approximately $2 billion. The company's operations were integrated into AmerisourceBergen's drug distribution business, which has since rebranded as Cencora. Bellco was known for its robust logistics network and specialized services tailored to the needs of community-based healthcare providers.
