FLINT, Mich., March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to put Chicago on the map as the healthiest city in the United States, Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy, the nation's largest privately held specialty pharmacy offering bioidentical hormone therapy, and Ageology anti-aging physician network have formed a strategic alliance.

Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy CEO Phil Hagerman and Ageology CEO Dr. Paul Savage share a similar vision and mission to play an active role in redefining healthcare and reestablishing the patient-physician relationship. The companies are taking a united stand to deliver patients a practical, proactive approach to wellness and fighting chronic illness.
