Thank you, St. Louis American!

GreaterHealth Pharmacy & Wellness is expanding its impact in North STL 🏥💊 thanks to $600K in funding from the City’s CDA 💰. As pharmacy deserts grow, Dr. Marcus Howard is stepping up—bringing trusted care, free delivery, and wellness services to neighborhoods hit hard by closures. A new location is on the way, making vital health access more local, more equitable.

'When the Walgreens at No. Kingshighway Blvd., and Natural Bridge Road in St. Louis’ Penrose neighborhood shuttered its doors on March 27, 2025, it was more than just a store closing.

The abrupt end to the pharmacy located within the state meant that many of its customers, including seniors who have difficulty finding transportation, would have to travel more than four miles to the nearest Walgreens.

Other national pharmacies have also recently closed, creating a “pharmacy desert.”

GreaterHealth Pharmacy and Wellness has a remedy, though. It plans to open a new location soon to serve its nearby neighborhoods...'

Exciting!

Major Moves for Greater Health Pharmacy

The Community Development Association (CDA) recently awarded $600,000 to St. Louis's only Black-owned pharmacy to build a new location in North St. Louis. This new site aims to assist residents affected by the closings of Walgreens, ensuring that the community retains access to vital pharmacy services. Additionally, residents can already begin transferring prescriptions online and are eligible for free home delivery services.

We love to see it because residents definitely need access to their prescriptions.

We don't play about our North St. Louis community, yall!

Thank you to KSDK News for following our team doing the work in the neighborhoods we've been in since the beginning.

We were part of history yesterday!

Yesterday, we partnered with Anthony L Riley and Central Baptist Church in his second round of the The Black Saint Louis Buyout initiative where hundreds of local church members came to GreaterHealth Pharmacy & Wellness to switch over their prescriptions and buy over-the-counter items in response to big chain pharmacies leaving our St. Louis community.

It was an event to remember!

GreaterHealth Pharmacy, the only Black-owned pharmacy in St. Louis, saw hundreds of community members rally in support today as national pharmacy chains continue to close in the area.
