Healthcare Operating Executive · Founder · Board Advisor
I'm Noah Chapman. For 25+ years I've stepped into regulated, multi-site healthcare platforms — across every pharmacy channel, from retail chain to health system, specialty, digital, mobile, and 340B — and delivered measurable enterprise growth as an operator, founder, and executive.
My career runs the full arc of American pharmacy and healthcare. I started behind the counter at Walgreens and went on to own the consolidated P&L for a national, 103-location pharmacy platform across 40 states, architect Walgreens' health-system services program across 250+ hospitals, lead 11 national markets at Capsule — one of the fastest-growing venture-backed digital health companies in the U.S. — and found, scale, and successfully sell HealthMobile / CareContinuum Healthcare, a mobile healthcare and 340B pharmacy integration platform, in 2025.
Along the way I've acquired, managed, or developed more than 250 independent pharmacies; achieved URAC Specialty Pharmacy accreditation; negotiated PBM and PSAO contracts; run central fill, long-term care, specialty, and mobile operations; and led enterprise-scale public health programs during the pandemic.
Today I'm founder and CEO of Veridex, building privacy-safe data infrastructure so independent pharmacies can reclaim their data and the margin that rides on it, and fractional COO of Frontline Healthcare Holdings, an international multi-segment healthcare platform. I write about pharmacy data economics for Pharmacy Times.
The through-line: I build operating models, teams, and playbooks that outlast me.
Six programs that show how I operate — from a single-hospital pilot to a company sale.
Built the service model, implementation team, and health-system contracting motion for a single-hospital pilot. Reached 250+ hospitals in 48 states within four years, with measurable readmission improvement and multi-year payor and health-system agreements.
Walgreens Entrepreneur of the Year, 2011Took a 59-store chain and its 40-state P&L. Standardized operations, built the M&A integration playbook, added LTC, specialty, and central fill, achieved URAC Specialty accreditation, and led 200+ employees.
103 owned locations (140 incl. franchised) · $292M → $352MSaw HCV surging in underserved Florida populations and a 340B channel that could fund treatment. Built a first-of-its-kind mobile testing-and-dispensing model with telehealth, FQHC and lab partnerships, and value-based arrangements.
Company sold, 2025Tested and vaccinated the entire employee population of Henry County Schools — one of the nation's largest systems — coordinating logistics, administration, verification, and reporting under public-sector contracts.
Enterprise-scale public health deliveryNegotiated an independent-pharmacy contract with a leading transparent-model PBM; managed national PSAO relationships across three platforms; now building data partnerships with leading claims and network intermediaries at Veridex.
Contract economics, DIR exposure, network strategyTwenty-five years watching independents lose their data — and the margin on it — to PBM and vendor consolidation. Veridex builds the privacy-safe layer that gives it back; the Pharmacy Times series makes the public case.
