U.S. Pharmacy Closures Are Deepening Health Inequities
Original: U.S. Pharmacy Closures Are Deepening Inequities
U.S. pharmacies are closing at a growing pace, and the shutdowns are hitting low-income and minority neighborhoods hardest, according to reporting highlighted by Public Health Watch. With fewer local drugstores, residents face longer trips for prescriptions and lose access to vaccinations and basic health advice, widening existing gaps in care between wealthier and underserved communities.
Why now: The accelerating wave of pharmacy chain closures is raising concern about access to medication in already underserved communities.
