NORFOLK, NE — One of the largest independent pharmacies in Omaha is merging with a Norfolk pharmacy.

Kubat Health Care announced Monday that it merged with Vital Care Pharmacy. This is the company’s second merger in a month. Kubat merged with Deines Pharmacy in Beatrice in early September.

“Vital Care Pharmacy is a great partner with Kubat,” said Mitch Deines, vice president of strategic business development at Kubat Health Care. “This merger will benefit the residents of northeast Nebraska already being served by Vital Care while offering some expanded services provided by Kubat."

A news release says Vital Care specializes in compounding, home infusion and home health medical equipment. Vital Care Pharmacy has been a member of the Norfolk community since 2005. It will retain its name and current location in Norfolk.
