FRISCO, Texas, Dec. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Soleo Health, an innovative leader and national provider of complex specialty pharmacy services, announced today the appointment of Jody Thompson to the role of senior vice president of business development, rare disease.
Thompson will augment the strategy to broaden Soleo Health’s portfolio of exclusive and limited distribution therapies for rare, ultra-rare and orphan diseases.
