Medco Chooses AllPoints at Anson in Whitestown, Indiana as Site for the World's Largest, Most-Advanced Automated Pharmacy
Date:12/18/2007

Richard P. Jones II named Vice President and General Manager of facility

that will dispense up to one million prescriptions a week

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MHS), one of the nation's leading pharmacy benefit managers, today announced that AllPoints at Anson in Whitestown, Indiana, will be the home of world's largest and most-advanced automated pharmacy, capping a nearly year-long search that spanned 48 states.

Medco selected Anson after narrowing its selections in early November to three different counties in central Indiana, where 1,300 new jobs will be created.

"We found all of the potential locations attractive for the facility. However, Anson stood out because of the attractive proposal and feature-rich site provided by developers Browning Investments and Duke Realty. There is a nice parallel between the Medco Therapeutic Resource Centers(TM) and the Anson planned community concept to create a new center of commercial, residential and civic activity in the region," said Medco President and Chief Operating Officer Kenny Klepper. "Anson will now be home to the pharmacy of the future -- a facility that uses the best of automation to safely dispense medications."

Medco also announced today that Richard P. Jones II will be vice president and general manager (VPGM) of the planned $140 million pharmacy, which takes up an area equal to six and a half football fields and will use its technology to safely meet growing nationwide demand for lower cost medicines. Jones, currently the VPGM of Medco's Las Vegas Prescription Dispensing Pharmacy, is a seasoned veteran with more than 20 years of Medco pharmacy experience.
