In communities across the country, pharmacists are often the first and most easily accessible health care provider. Nine in ten Americans live within five miles of a pharmacy and many Americans depend on pharmacists to provide timely and reliable care and services. That is why McKesson is advocating for the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act (H.R. 1770/S. 2477). Our company is a proud member of the Future of Pharmacy Care Coalition, a group of American healthcare companies and professional associations that together provide care for hundreds of millions of patients across communities and represent pharmacists and pharmacies of all sizes across the U.S. This bipartisan legislation will safeguard senior access to essential pharmacist services across the nation.
