Dane Fredericksen graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) with a Doctorate of Pharmacy in 2012. His experience spans various pharmacy settings, including retail, managed care, and hospitals. After over 15 years as a pharmacist, Dane recognized the glaring disparities in healthcare. He observed that patients often had to be critically ill before receiving adequate treatment and care from their physicians. The escalating costs of insurance premiums and the increasing restrictions on drugs due to prior authorizations, driven by the high prices set by pharmaceutical companies, further exacerbated these disparities.
To address these issues, Dane delved into the study of functional medicine. This led him to a novel approach to medicine: treating the root causes of diseases rather than merely addressing the symptoms. As a result, Forever Young Pharmacy was established. Our mission is to provide affordable, safe, and effective medications aimed at preventing and treating common chronic diseases, thereby potentially improving an individual’s health and longevity. Furthermore, we strive to eliminate unnecessary costs associated with third-party insurance and pharmacy benefits managers. Our focus is on treating patients before they become critically ill.
