In this episode, host Sara Rubin is joined by Cheryl Allen, RPh, founding partner at Curatio Advisors, to explore how manufacturers can evolve their access strategies in response to the growing complexity of specialty-like therapies. With a career spanning specialty pharmacy, digital health innovation and commercialization strategy, Cheryl shares how reframing these products as “enhanced retail” can unlock smarter, patient-centered support models.

The conversation highlights how patient voices are shaping the next generation of hub services, starter kits and adherence programs, and why a product’s clinical and administrative profile should inform infrastructure decisions from day one. Cheryl offers actionable guidance on building programs that not only help patients start therapy, but support long-term persistence in a fragmented and demanding access environment.
