Hand-picked for her expertise and concentration in the natural hormone therapy area, Dr. Hutchinson joins Axium with more than 20 years of related clinical practice experience. "Over the last few years, there has been a great deal of information about hormone therapy provided from a number of sources," said Hutchinson. "Some of the information has been conflicting and that can leave women perplexed. As I begin to work for Axium Healthcare Pharmacy, I intend to offer my expertise as a doctor of pharmacy, as well as a woman, to provide information and oversight that's tailored to each individual." The launch of this new Division provides another step in Axium's direction of continued growth. In 2003, Axium reported an annual revenue of $28 million, up from $19 million in 2002, and the company's Vice President and General Manager, Mark Montgomery, is projecting 2004 revenue to exceed $30 million. "One of the major factors in Axium's growth involves a comparison of the benefits between using a specialty pharmacy versus a local pharmacy," said Montgomery. "Axium specializes in providing personalized and comprehensive therapy-management programs that are used to treat chronic diseases, supplying patients, physicians and health plan providers with medications that normally would not be readily available at their local pharmacy."
