The Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) today announced the accreditation of Chancy Drugs located in Valdosta. The accreditation is awarded in recognition of the pharmacy’s commitment to meeting and/or exceeding national quality standards.

“Our new PCAB^® Accreditation status and our designation as a PCAB Accredited^® Compounding pharmacy speaks directly to our commitment to exceptional quality,” said Hugh Chancy, co-owner of Chancy Drugs. 

“We are honored by this new accreditation. It confirms Chancy Drugs commitment to providing safe, personalized solutions that meet the medical needs of our patients – and the needs of the healthcare providers in our community who rely on us for these specialized medicines,” said Chancy.  

Compounding medications is an integral part of the practice of pharmacy and the demand for these customized medications are increasing every year. Yet many people may not even be aware of its role. Compounded medications are prescriptions that are written by physicians, veterinarians and other legally authorized prescribers and prepared for an individual patient by a specially trained pharmacist.  Chancy Drugs is able to customize medications to meet specific patient needs.  Chancy Drugs is now one of five pharmacies in Georgia that are PCAB accredited. 

Chancy Drugs opened its doors in 1966 in Hahira, a dream long anticipated by the late Hubert Chancy, RPh. After a successful start in a small town, it was decided to continue their friendly, personal service in Lake Park, Adel and most recently, Valdosta. Their slogan, “Making a Difference One Person at a Time”, quickly became known to their patients, and they recently received the 2014 Best Customer Service Award by Valdosta Daily Times.
