U.S. Pharmacy Closures Are Deepening Health Inequities

Original: The Watch: U.S. Pharmacy Closures Are Deepening Inequities

A new report warns that the wave of pharmacy closures across the United States is widening health inequities. As drugstores shut down, disproportionately in lower-income and rural communities, residents lose convenient access to prescriptions, vaccinations and basic health advice, forcing longer trips and raising the risk of patients skipping medications. Commenters are highlighting how the closures compound existing gaps in care.

Why now: Growing concern over the accelerating wave of U.S. pharmacy closures and its unequal impact on underserved communities.
