Gayco Healthcare

What Gayco Healthcare does

Gayco Healthcare is a privately held, family-owned closed-door long-term care pharmacy founded in 1993 by Bent Gay and headquartered in Dublin, Georgia. The company dispenses prescription medications and provides adherence packaging, medication therapy management, vaccine administration, consultant pharmacist services, and regulatory compliance support exclusively to long-term care customers, including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, correctional institutions (under NCCHC standards), and patients receiving long-term care at home. Its core technology stack centers on electronic medical record integration with PointClickCare (as a certified pharmacy premier exchange partner), proprietary cloud-managed emergency medication cabinets (StatSafe), and customizable single-dose blister and multi-dose strip packaging synchronized to monthly cycle fill programs. Revenue is generated primarily through prescription dispensing billed to insurance, Medicare Part D, and other third-party payors, with value-added clinical and consulting services bundled in at no incremental charge.

Gayco operates from three locations: a 15,000 sq ft corporate pharmacy in Dublin, GA, a 7,500 sq ft North pharmacy in Alpharetta, GA, and a 2,000 sq ft Birmingham, AL facility acquired in 2025. The three sites support daily medication delivery across Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales targeting facility administrators via referrals, website intake forms, and toll-free outreach, with the company handling pharmacy transfers on behalf of new patients. The firm employs more than 90 people and maintains HIPAA-compliant privacy practices, positioning itself as a full-service LTC pharmacy partner rather than a transactional dispensing provider.
