Ardon Health

Based in Portland, Oregon, Ardon Health offers specialty pharmacy care with a human touch. We embrace the full health ecosystem —because getting better isn't just about filling a prescription. To foster good health, we connect patients, providers, manufactures, payers and the community with healthy tools and resources.

Ardon offers a unique and modern work environment that blends teamwork, excellence and open communication. Our team members grow and develop skills together while providing a high-quality, well-rounded patient experience.

As an Ardon Pharmacy Technician, you are the first contact primarily for both referral sources and patients with the pharmacy. As such, the technician should strive to build relationships with these customers to increase satisfaction, compliance, and referrals. The technician is also responsible for dispensing, packing and shipping medication orders and therefore must be efficient and demonstrate attention to detail.

We work to build trusted relationships and to be a resource that they can turn to for help. We value this responsibility and take great pride in the opportunity we have to meet the specialty pharmacy needs of our customers. Team Ardon has a passion for providing great service and helping others. 

What is a day at Ardon like? When we aren’t diligently working to change our patients’ lives, we’re planning potlucks, playing Nerf golf, or celebrating this month’s birthdays (cake and balloons required). Each day we come to work excited and enjoy what we do. Our progressive environment embodies the notion that life is meant to be shared and lived well, through hard work, compassion, camaraderie and community. If you’re saying, “Yes, I want to be part of this place!” Then, please keep reading to see how you can join us.
