Mission Statement

Elan is the visionary, founder, and CEO of a Specialty health group, with 20 years of experience- he is responsible for the strategic planning and efforts that nurture the continuous growth of his multi-divisional healthcare company. Elan established QuickRx in 2001, focusing on underserved communities in New York, and has since continued expanding to encompass all the states. Constantly raising the standard for patient care, Elan acquired his first Long Term Care pharmacy in Florida in 2010. By 2011, Elan owned and operated over 22 pharmacies, spanning from New York to Florida, demonstrating his comprehensive knowledge and versatility in the pharmacy industry from retail to specialty.

Along the way, in 2014, Elan teamed up with an ER physician, Dr. Jason Deutsch, and founded Cure Urgent Care. Cure's missions were to deliver emergency care to the most vulnerable communities in New York City. It established itself as the staple in the communities, and where Elan currently serves as the CEO. Always looking for opportunities and needs that were not being met, in 2018, Elan saw a tremendous shift into out-patient care from the urgent care outflow and created the Speciality Infusion Centers. Currently, Elan serves as the CEO with eight locations in the New York area and a strategic plan to expand to the entire United States.

As an active leader in his field, Elan is a member of organizations such as The American Pharmacist Association (APA), The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), and the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). Through partnerships and joint ventures, Elan has invested in a multitude of healthcare-related businesses, including urgent care centers, assisted living facilities, and infusion centers. Elan is an avid supporter of causes including cancer and HIV research and a proud contributor to foundations and charities, including the Lustgarten Foundation, Hormone Therapy Centers of America (HTCA), and The Bridge.
