Clare roundtable addresses independent pharmacy closure crisis
CLARE — State Rep. Tom Kunse recently hosted a roundtable discussion in Clare, Mich., addressing the crisis of independent pharmacy closures across the state. Organizers of the event say Pharmacy Benefit Manager policies are contributing to these closures, which are creating “pharmacy deserts” in many communities. These Pharmacy Benefit Manager policies are often associated with larger chains and their impact is forcing patients to travel longer distances or rely on mail-order services. This can lead to increased risks of missed medication doses, delayed treatment and higher costs for patients. The Clare discussion highlighted how independent pharmacy closures disproportionately affect rural and underserved areas. Organizers emphasized that these closures cut off access to not only prescriptions but also trusted health care advice.

Gross stressed the range of services provided by local pharmacies beyond simply dispensing medication. “Where there’s no access, how do patients that have, transportation issues get their prescriptions, get the service?” Gross asked. “Because it’s not just prescriptions. There’s clinical services. There’s immunizations and other services provided in a local pharmacy. If The pharmacy is not there, they can’t get those.” This roundtable in Clare
