PHOENIX — Avella Specialty Pharmacy on Thursday was recognized in Chief Executive magazine’s first list of the “Mid-Market Elite.” Avella joins other highly-regarded companies, including Twitter, LinkedIn and LifeLock, in receiving this honor that is given to 100 companies. 

The winners were selected based on their strengths in the following key areas: superior growth, a track record of innovation, an exceptional corporate culture, charismatic leadership and a compelling business model. Avella Specialty Pharmacy represented the only pharmacy operator on the list.
