I wanted to take a moment to thank our loyal patients at Hutton Rd. It is with great sadness that we have to close our pharmacy. We would like to welcome you to our 65th and Parallel store where we will continue the same great service with Free Delivery and Compliance Packaging. If you would like to help, we encourage you to write your local Senator and encourage them to pass Senate Bill 360 which will help our remaining Pharmacy and every other Independent Pharmacy keep their doors open to help support our communities.

Call or email your State Senator and help us keep our doors open, tell them to support SB360.

Today we celebrated the retirement of a legend in the Pharmacy industry. Mark Theno gave over 50 years of dedication to our community, and we want to thank him for everything he has done. For Pharmacy and especially for us here at The Medicine Shoppe, We Thank You! Our family here at the Medicine Shoppe will miss him and wish him well and want him to enjoy a well deserved retirement!

Today I had the honor of representing my patients in Kansas City, KS along with hundreds of Independent Pharmacists from throughout Kansas to advocate for our pharmacy, our patients, and our time to fight against the large PBMs that are trying to close our doors. We provide a service to our patients that can not be matched by the large chains. I thank all of my patients that support us at The Medicine Shoppe. Thank you Kansas Pharmacists Association for your support!
