“Why Are So Many Independent Pharmacies Closing?”
•
Sarah
We’re pulling back the curtain on a topic that hits close to home—the recent closure of our neighboring pharmacy and the troubling trend of independent pharmacies shutting their doors.
In this episode, we talk candidly about:
💊 The harsh reality of insurance and PBMs (Pharmacy Benefit Managers)
🏥 Why the traditional model is broken—and who it’s really failing
🛒 How our self-pay model is different (and why it works)
❤️ Our mission to keep independent pharmacy alive and thriving
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on behind the pharmacy counter or why your local options are disappearing—this episode is for you.
