Milestones That Matter

Sherwin Sargeant: Trusted Retirement Strategist for Florida Public Employees

Texas Star Pharmacy began with one location and a bold vision: to redefine pharmacy services in a more personalised, accessible, and efficient way. What started as a community-focused business quickly gained national recognition for its customer-first model, rapid growth, and ability to adapt to evolving healthcare demands. As founder and strategic lead, I continue to drive its expansion while ensuring every decision supports quality patient care.

Two Decades of Growth-Driven Entrepreneurship

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built a proven track record of launching and scaling ventures across the healthcare ecosystem. My experience ranges from brick-and-mortar pharmacies to tech-enabled service platforms, each shaped by a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and measurable outcomes. I’ve navigated regulatory hurdles, operational roadblocks, and market shifts—all while keeping people at the center of every business I lead.

A Multidisciplinary Educational Foundation

Education has been my compass throughout this journey. My doctorate in pharmacy gives me deep clinical insight; my master’s in information systems strengthens my ability to build digital infrastructures; and my MIT MBA sharpens my strategic, financial, and leadership capabilities. This diverse academic foundation allows me to understand healthcare from every angle—patient care, process, and profit.

 What I Do Best

Designing Smarter Healthcare Systems

I specialise in designing service and operational models that make healthcare more responsive, data-informed, and patient-centric. From integrating automation in pharmacy workflows to implementing scalable platforms for remote services, I ensure that innovation enhances—not complicates—care delivery.

Creating Sustainable Business Growth

I lead businesses with a long-term view, crafting growth strategies that balance agility with scalability. Whether entering new markets, diversifying service offerings, or building internal teams, I focus on sustainable progress rooted in value creation.

Innovating With Purpose

For me, innovation isn’t about trend-chasing—it’s about solving real problems. I take pride in creating solutions that not only improve efficiency but genuinely elevate the healthcare experience for patients and providers alike.

Leadership in Action

Driving Impact Across the Healthcare Industry

As a healthcare entrepreneur, I approach every venture as an opportunity to spark change. I’ve introduced new service models, embraced digital health early, and led organisational shifts that improve outcomes and efficiency. My work aims to reduce fragmentation and deliver meaningful value in a complex system.

Developing the Next Generation of Leaders

I strongly believe in mentorship and knowledge sharing. Whether speaking at industry events, advising early-stage startups, or mentoring future pharmacists and entrepreneurs, I make time to pass on lessons I’ve learned—because growth isn’t just personal; it’s collective.

 Collaborating for Progress

Innovation thrives in collaboration. I regularly partner with clinicians, technologists, and business leaders to develop forward-thinking strategies that challenge outdated systems. These partnerships have helped turn fresh ideas into high-impact, operationally sound ventures.

What Fuels My Mission

Vision-Driven Entrepreneurship

Every project I lead is grounded in a vision for a better future—where healthcare is proactive, equitable, and technology-enabled. I don’t just chase growth; I pursue impact, and I choose to work on ventures that have the potential to reshape the industry for the better.

Resilience Through Every Phase

Resilience has been a constant theme in my journey. From launching startups during uncertain times to navigating intense industry disruption, I’ve learned how to adapt without compromising on purpose. I believe resilience isn’t about avoiding failure—it’s about using it to refine your approach.

A Lifelong Commitment to Learning

My curiosity never rests. I seek out learning opportunities that challenge my assumptions and deepen my understanding of leadership, healthcare, and emerging technologies. By staying on the edge of change, I ensure that my ideas—and the companies I lead—remain relevant and resilient.
