Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributors Program

Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributor (VAWD) accreditation provides assurance that wholesale distribution facilities operate legitimately, are validly licensed in good standing, and are employing security and best practices for distributing legend drugs from manufacturers to health care providers and other institutions. VAWD licensees undergo a criteria compliance review, licensure verification, an on-site survey, background checks, and screening through the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Clearinghouse.

Both Cook Incorporated and Cook Medical Incorporated are accredited under the VAWD program.
