Why Your Local Pharmacy Isn’t on Strike Today 💊

Today, we're seeing thousands of incredible health workers and teachers marching for fair pay, safe staffing, and better funding. We’d love to be right there with them—but here’s why you'll still find us behind the counter.

While we are fiercely supportive of the call for better healthcare funding and conditions, pharmacists have a unique situation. Our pharmacies are considered "private businesses," and if we all decided to close our doors and strike together, it could actually be seen as collusion under competition law. 😳

So, while others are taking to the streets, we'll be here. We're dispensing your medicines, keeping our doors open, and cheering on every single person marching for change.

We aren't here because we don't care; we're here because you are our priority. If we closed, our community would pay the immediate price, and that's a cost we aren't willing to pass on.

Your community pharmacy is under immense pressure, but we're doing everything we can to stay right here, serving you and advocating for the support we all need. ❤️
