Stadium Pharmacy is an independent neighborhood pharmacy at 4811 S Arrowhead Drive in Independence, Missouri, owned by pharmacist Pallavi Ponna and operating under the Missouri entity IVNA Medical Group LLC. It is a plain-format community drugstore rather than a specialty house — dispensing, one-on-one pharmacist consultation, home delivery, medication synchronization, pill packs, blood-pressure monitoring, and diabetes care — serving Independence, Blue Springs, Lee’s Summit, Raytown, and eastern Kansas City in a suburb the pharmacy itself describes as heavily senior and substantially medically underserved.

Description

Stadium Pharmacy is an independent retail pharmacy in Independence, Missouri. It occupies a single storefront on South Arrowhead Drive and states its service area as Independence, Blue Springs, Lee’s Summit, Kansas City, and Raytown.1 The federal NPI registry records the operating entity as IVNA Medical Group LLC doing business as Stadium Pharmacy, at the Arrowhead Drive address, under a primary community/retail pharmacy taxonomy with Missouri licence 2016039188.2

The pharmacy makes an explicit case for its own category. Its Independence page argues that the city is the largest Missouri-side suburb in the metro at over 122,000 people, that roughly 19 percent of residents live with a health disability, that about 20 percent are seniors, that 12 percent of adults manage diabetes, and that nearly 40 percent of the population lives in medically underserved areas — and positions the independent counter as filling gaps “as large chains scale back.”3 Those figures are the pharmacy’s own and are unsourced on its site; they are reported here as the business’s stated framing rather than as established demography.

Its offer is conventional community-pharmacy work done at close range: one-on-one pharmacist consultation, free home delivery, medication synchronization so multiple prescriptions come due on one day, multi-medication pill packs, blood-pressure monitoring, and a diabetes specialized-care line.1 Customer reviews reproduced on the site and on Yelp repeatedly frame the pharmacy against the chain experience by name.14

History

Stadium Pharmacy’s own account is brief and undated: it was “founded a couple of decades ago in Independence, MO,” after research into the difficulties people faced getting healthcare and wellness products, and grew into a neighborhood fixture.5 Elsewhere the site claims more than 25 years of service.3 The NPI record for IVNA Medical Group LLC d/b/a Stadium Pharmacy was enumerated on January 23, 2007, which is about nineteen years before this page was drafted; NPI enumeration marks when a provider registered for a national identifier, not necessarily when a store opened, so it functions as a floor rather than a founding date.2 The exact founding year is left unresolved here rather than guessed.

Pallavi Ponna is named on the pharmacy’s own About page as its owner and “the guiding force behind the Stadium Pharmacy’s tremendous journey,” described as an experienced pharmacist of several years’ standing who is personally engaged in prescription accuracy and delivery.5 The NPI record lists Vikranth Anneboina as the authorized official of the LLC, in the role of Member — a distinct name from the publicly presented owner, and worth reconciling before this page ships.2
