Pharmacy Access Coalition Enhances Rochester Pharmacy Services Amid Closures
Pharmacy Access Coalition Formed
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Four Rochester healthcare organizations have joined forces to address a significant wave of pharmacy closures affecting the area, thus broadening pharmaceutical access across Monroe County. The members of this coalition—University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester Regional Health, Trillium Health, and Jordan Health—aim to open new pharmacies and expand pharmaceutical services throughout Rochester. This includes offering walk-in services across the city and delivery options to any address in Monroe County.
Response to Pharmacy Closures
The initiative comes in light of the recent closure of five Walgreens locations in the Rochester area. Mayor Malik Evans, along with members of the Rochester Healthcare Systems, discussed the city's pharmacy services on Tuesday. Evans remarked that the news of the Walgreens closure in the Bull's Head neighborhood felt almost surreal, considering the ongoing billion-dollar revitalization project and numerous economic investments being made in that area.
