Team
The owners of Blue River Pharmacy, Julie Acra and Paul Cruzan, have owned independent pharmacies in the Indianapolis region for 15 years.
Paul served in the United States Air Force as a security specialist and military historian for six years. Upon discharge, Paul focused on chain drug management with Revco then CVS. These experiences in leadership, management and chain pharmacies prepared him for the future.
Wishing to focus more on patient care and service, Paul decided to take a leap of faith and open his own independent pharmacy in 1999 with Julie. He currently co-owns and operates the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Greensburg, IN and Blue River Pharmacy in Brownsburg, IN.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a pharmacist, Julie Acra brings a unique combination of knowledge and compassion for patients to Blue River Pharmacy. Her passion to help patients navigate the complicated healthcare system is evidenced in her daily interactions. As a consulting pharmacist for statewide Group Homes and long term care patients over the last ten years, Julie is seen as a resource for best practices in the pharmaceutical field.
Julie has been recognized in Drug Topic Magazine, local media, and Medicine Shoppe International for her innovative pharmacy offerings and customer service. She is trained in compounding, MTM, and oversees the HQAA Accreditation of the stores.
