Please welcome Caitlin Rohrbaugh as the newest pharmacist at Wells Hometown Drug. You can find her one day a week in Keosauqua and the rest of the week in Bloomfield. She graduated from the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy in 2024. After graduation, she completed a year of intensive training at Schaffner Pharmacy, an independent pharmacy in Washington state. There she learned about pharmacy ownership and management and managed some of the pharmacy's most complex patients. She is excited to be back in Iowa and is looking forward to helping patients in the community. During her free time she enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, and being outdoors. We are excited to add Caitlin's expertise to help better serve our communities. She joins our growing team of highly trained pharmacists. If you get a chance let her know a few must see or must do things in our area. With her being new to SE Iowa, we want to make sure she isn't missing out on anything!

A sincere thank you to all of you that took the time to contact legislators by completing the link we shared or in other ways. I can't put in to words how big of an impact this new law will have across the state of Iowa. Both ensuring access to pharmacies in rural areas and allowing you, the patient, your choice of pharmacy (very logical if you ask me). Here at our pharmacies specifically we look forward to staying on the forefront of the pharmacy profession and taking advantage of the great practice environment our state has. When you are one of our patients just know we always have big plans and big goals in store for our neighbors, friends and families which we consider you all. With gratitude for your support as always, Mylo.

Thank you to everyone that took time to fill out the patient link and be involved, it made a difference. Thanks to the following legislators from our area on voting yes on this issue: Austin Harris, Cherielynn Westrich and Adrian Dickey. If you see them thank them for supporting your access to pharmacy care in rural areas. Next stop: Governor's desk.

😡 We are angry-Please Read and Share this so everyone that you care about in Iowa sees it 😡
Picture this, this pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) is running ads in your area just letting everyone know not to worry if they close your local pharmacy down (independent or chain-this is a pharmacy problem). They have a mail order option (that they own and pay more) which will take multiple days or weeks to get to you. Your doctor may have prescribed the medication today but you'll be fine a couple more days... hopefully. They aren't worried about you though because they don't know you, they know numbers and the most important number in their eyes is profit. The Iowa Legislature has a chance to reform PBMs and ensure that PATIENTS have the freedom to decide where they obtain their medications and that pharmacies are paid a fair rate. The data says insurance premiums in states that have PBM reform in place actually increase at a lower rate than in Iowa (West Virginia for example). I'm so tired of watching my fellow pharmacy owners and pharmacy managers worry if their community will be without a pharmacy at this time next year if something isn't done now. That's the deal though, they actually care about the patients and the communities they live in so they worry constantly, cut staff, cut pay, work 65 hours a week. This is real and while we are very fortunate to be in the position we are at Wells Hometown Drug, other good men and women in pharmacy across the state are on the brink of closure leading to pharmacy deserts, your family not having access to a pharmacist they know and trust, their meds being stored in unsafe conditions, your elderly relative headed to a facility because their local pharmacy that went the extra mile is gone. It's not bad business that is leading pharmacies to close, it's a rigged system that needs reformed NOW. If you feel strongly please fill out the link below to send a message to your legislators. I want to thank you all personally for reading this and giving a darn about the future of pharmacy in our state-Mylo.

Mylo was recently elected to the Iowa Pharmacy Association Board of Trustees, a group responsible for steering the organization in advancing the practice of pharmacy throughout the state. Iowa is recognized as one of the most innovative states in the country when it comes to pharmacy practices, and Mylo is eager to contribute to this progress. He is excited to serve his profession and advocate for the communities of Southern Iowa as important decisions are made!

We now have a medication disposal drop box at each location. If you are doing your spring cleaning, don't forget to get rid of your expired or unused medications!
