3:32Now PlayingMajor pharmacies across the United States are shutting down due to declining prescription reimbursement, persistent theft, and changing shopping habits. This trend disproportionately affects Black and Latino communities, which have fewer pharmacies per capita compared to predominantly white neighborhoods. An Associated Press analysis reveals alarming disparities: for instance, a single MAC Pharmacy in a majority Black zip code in Cleveland, Ohio serves 20,000 residents. These closures force residents to travel further for prescriptions, vaccinations, over-the-counter medicines, and more. Join this episode of Night School as we explore the impact of pharmacy deserts on these communities and discuss potential solutions.
