When Hurricane Ida hit, big-name carriers shut down. FedEx, UPS, and the postal service weren’t delivering, but patients still needed their medications. When traditional carriers failed, our team proved what healthcare logistics in the Gulf South could truly look like.
At the time, our founder Drew was grounded in Louisiana for personal reasons. He checked in on his drivers, made sure they were safe with their families, and asked them to stay in touch. Then, he called key contacts at Ochsner Health and said simply, “We’re ready. We’ve got fuel for a month. We’ve got drivers. Let’s get to work.”
Within hours, Drew was signing contracts and coordinating emergency delivery logistics from Ochsner’s main campus. At first, we helped funnel packages to FedEx facilities. But it quickly became clear: FedEx wasn’t getting back in. So we pivoted to direct local deliveries, calling patients, coordinating alternate addresses, and ensuring critical medications got where they needed to go.
We were on the roads just days after the storm passed, sometimes ahead of the hospital’s own recovery timeline. Our four-wheel drive vehicles delivered through flooded neighborhoods and downed power lines. It was about continuity of care. About stepping in when others couldn’t.
Since then, we’ve expanded that same rapid-response mindset into everything we do. From Snowmageddon to regional disaster relief, we’ve earned our reputation by delivering under pressure. Whether it’s medication, emergency supplies, or the peace of mind that comes with knowing someone’s got your back—we show up. Every time.
“When the big carriers stopped showing up, we didn’t. We had the people, the fuel, the heart—and we made it happen. Our team didn’t just deliver packages, we delivered peace of mind and raised the bar for healthcare logistics in the Gulf South.”
— Drew, Founder
We are a mission-driven team with a sharp focus: precision, reliability, and compassion — all delivered at scale.
We don’t just talk about mission — we live it. In every pickup, every delivery, every interaction. From pharm to table.
We believe that business should do more than deliver profits. It should deliver good.
Our founder, Drew Herrington, brings that belief to life not just in the way we run this company, but in the way he shows up for the community. Drew leads Team Fleur De Que, a New Orleans-based barbecue team that turns smoke and spice into serious fundraising power for families battling pediatric brain cancer. Team Fleur de Que brought home the bacon once again in 2025, raising an incredible $750,000 for Hogs for the Cause and earning the Top Fundraiser title yet again.
From the national spotlight at Hogs for the Cause—where FDQ has been a top fundraiser—to campus cookouts like the BBQ Philanthropy Throwdown at the University of Alabama, the team’s mission is always the same: rally people around great food and a greater cause.
Giving back is in our DNA. Whether it’s teaming up with local school drives to deliver supplies to neighbors affected by hurricanes, supporting food banks during the holidays, or simply showing up when someone needs a hand—we’re proud to be there for the communities we serve.
Because strong communities don’t just happen. They’re built—with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of barbecue.
Through Fleur de Que, food drives, and storm relief efforts, we channel our healthcare logistics Gulf South roots into action that strengthens communities.
We don’t just deliver packages, we deliver when it counts, with healthcare logistics Gulf South communities can count on. Whether navigating a natural disaster or rallying behind a cause, our team is built to show up with speed, heart, and purpose. From emergency response to community support, we’re proud to serve the Gulf South with resilience and care.
When disaster strikes, the landscape shifts in an instant. Roads close, infrastructure fails, and communication lines go dark. That’s when our team shines brightest.
We are built for resilience, with the plans and protocols in place to pivot quickly and deliver what’s needed—when and where it matters most. Whether navigating waterlogged roads to get medication through or rerouting temperature-sensitive deliveries during power outages, we respond with urgency, precision, and heart.
We don’t just prepare for emergencies—we plan to be part of the solution. That’s why pharmacies count on us for reliable courier services during emergencies and to ensure continuity of care.
