Many of our staff will be out today from 10:30 - 12:30ish to celebrate the life of one of our cherished pharmacists. We ask for patience and grace as we still aren’t completely finished with our merge. We will have some staff available but please be patient.

Sherri was an incredible person, an outstanding and highly respected pharmacist, and most of all very strong in her faith in the Lord. Please pray for her family during this time.
We are shocked and saddened by her loss but we know the she will be waiting for us in Heaven.

View Sherri Merket's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

Well folks, Day 1 of merging our two pharmacy locations is officially in the books—and we survived! 😅

Thank you so much for your patience and kindness as we navigated a day full of changes, challenges, and a whole lot of hustle. Our incredible team worked hard to keep things running smoothly, and we’re so proud of their effort.

We’re a little tired (ok, maybe a LOT tired), but excited for what’s ahead as we continue settling into everything being at our Downtown location. We’re honored to keep serving you and your families—and we can’t wait to start getting in a good rhythm.

Here’s to a restful weekend and a fresh start on Monday! 💊❤️

When you see an industry giant struggling you know there is corruption in the payment system. 100% worth your time to read this.

It's not that Walgreens didn't modernize or couldn't compete with Amazon. The 124 year old company is being squeezed to death by monopolistic pharmacy benefit managers.

Shout it from the highest mountain! PBMs need to be reigned in!

The House is renewing a push to take on pharmacy benefit managers that play an important role in the cost of prescription drugs.

This is why we do not accept GoodRx, practices like these. They are a crooked company trying to profiteer off of our broken health care system and the pain point of high Rx prices in this country. It is much better to just ask for the cash/self-pay price. It is often better than the listed GoodRx price. GoodRx sells patient data and is not bound by the HIPAA privacy laws that ALL health care providers must abide by.

‼️NCPA is joining a class action lawsuit against GoodRx as well as CVS Caremark Corp.; Express Scripts, Inc.; MedImpact Healthcare Systems, Inc.; and Navitus Health Solutions, LLC, accusing them of colluding in a price-fixing scheme to fix reimbursements to independent pharmacies. “GoodRx’s business model already potentially misleads consumers by preferentially listing some large chain pharmacies in their search results despite the higher-ranked pharmacies having higher prices, excluding nearly all independent pharmacies from appearing in the results,” said NCPA CEO Douglas Hoey. “The actions alleged in this class action suit further disadvantage small businesses and cater to PBMs.”
