Where healing is personal

Medicine Center Pharmacy has served Northeast Ohio for nearly 50 years — four neighborhood locations, nine registered pharmacists, and one CCE-Accredited compounding lab built around patients who need more than a chain pharmacy can offer.

Nearly 50 years of independent pharmacy

Medicine Center Pharmacy was founded in 1976 by Paul and Susan White, opening the first Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy franchise in Canton, Ohio. What began as one location with one part-time employee grew into a four-location independent pharmacy group serving communities across Northeast Ohio with approximately 55 employees today.

When the franchise agreement ended, the name changed to Medicine Center Pharmacy — making room for expanded services, deeper community ties, and a compounding capability that no chain can replicate. Brad White, R.Ph., continues the family's second generation of pharmacy ownership.

CCE-Accredited non-sterile compounding

Our New Philadelphia location houses a CCE-Accredited non-sterile compounding lab — the only accredited compounding pharmacy in the Tuscarawas County area. Compounded medications are custom-prepared for patients who need specific strengths, alternative dosage forms, or formulations free of allergens and unnecessary fillers.

We compound for BHRT, low dose naltrexone, thyroid, veterinary, and a wide range of custom prescriptions. All compounding requires a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Shipping available to patients in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

CCE-Accredited Non-Sterile Compounding Medicine Center Pharmacy's New Philadelphia lab holds accreditation from the Compounding Center of Excellence (CCE), meeting the highest standards for quality, safety, and consistency in non-sterile compounding practice.


The team behind your care

Nine registered pharmacists across four locations — each trained to counsel patients on drug interactions, side effects, and the nutritional and environmental factors that affect medication outcomes. Our clinical team leads compounding education, chronic disease support, and community health screenings.
