Recognition Earned Through Growth
This latest award follows Empower’s April distinction as the #1 fastest-growing middle-market company in the region from the Houston Business Journal [HBJ] assessment earlier this year. While growth is part of the story, Empower’s continued success is driven by consistent execution, operational strength, and reach across the country.
Since our founding, we’ve remained focused on one mission: expanding access to quality, affordable medications while maintaining a strong commitment to compliance, quality systems, and provider support.
Growth with Purpose
“At Empower, our growth isn’t built on shortcuts, it’s built on discipline,” said Shaun Noorian, founder and CEO of Empower Pharmacy. “We built the corners right from the beginning. Not the cheapest way. Not the quickest path. The right way. That means investing in scalable systems, rock-solid infrastructure, and quality that stands up to scrutiny.”
Empower’s infrastructure reflects a commitment to doing things the right way from the start. In an industry where growth can outpace readiness, our approach ensures that proven systems and a stable foundation support progress.
Built for What Comes Next
Empower’s trajectory is rooted in the strength of its operations. Since 2009, we’ve made quality, compliance, and infrastructure central to every aspect of our business. Our facilities run on a 24/7 weekday schedule, supported by advanced cold-chain logistics and secure controlled substance handling protocols.
Every process reflects a clear commitment to consistency, operational reliability and provider trust. These operational standards have allowed us to scale intentionally, with a focus on long-term impact.

Empower’s recognition on the HBJ’s Fastest-Growing Companies List further solidifies our commitment to excellence, integrity, and sustained growth. As a company proudly headquartered in Houston, we are honored to be acknowledged among the region’s most dynamic businesses contributing to and growing with the local community we call home.
