Emmanuel Ayanjoke opened the Altev Community Pharmacy in Avondale Town Center last year, helping many residents of the predominantly Black neighborhood reconnect with their health care needs. Before opening Altev Community Pharmacy, Ayanjoke said Avondale had gone years without a CVS or Walgreens. But growing up in a local pharmacy back home in Nigeria gave Ayanjoke early experience in being the sole provider of medication and other health needs for a community. "Growing up, my dad was a pharmacist back at home in Nigeria; his dad was a pharmacist. I almost always knew I wanted to go into pharmacy in some way, and I always knew I wanted to be a business owner," said Ayanjoke. Altev Community Pharmacy is also the only Black-owned independent pharmacy in Cincinnati, something that helps to build trust with Ayanjoke’s customers, who are also his neighbors. Altev Community Pharmacy accepts all Ohio Medicaid insurance plans, including Buckeye Health Plan, CareSource, Molina Healthcare, Paramount Advantage and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. They also offer customers (and pets) free access to discounts on prescription medications. altevrx.com.
