Dear Supporters,
Change has not happened at most Boards of Pharmacy. It won't occur until we balance the pressure Board members face from the companies they work for or receive reimbursements from. Right now, we are not even close.
I still question if the Boards of Pharmacy can handle this issue due to the conflicts fo interest, yet I hang on to the slightest ray of hope. Legislative action needs to happen immediately to stop the forcing to mail order pharmacies. There are so many issues other than temperatures with mail order.
Members of the public, we need you. Oct 19th, 2023, at 9:30 AM at the Courtyard by Marriott Columbia 3301 Lemone Industrial Blvd. Columbia, MO 65201
Right now, we only have a couple who have stated they will be able to attend.
You may also be able to watch virtually.
I will be there as the temperature issue will be discussed.
I've said it frequently, but what good is all of the dollars, including tax dollars, we spend on healthcare if all is lost at the last mile? Patients are unable to get medications that are safe and unadulterated without delays and interruptions in treatment.
At the same time, some patients are forced to chain pharmacies such as Walgreens that have pharmacists scheduled again to walk out on October 9th-11th. If the Boards of Pharmacy would require proper staffing and ensure adequate penalties when patients are harmed due to understaffing, these pharmacists wouldn't feel the need to walk out.
Our regulatory agencies have failed us. Help me pressure them to stop failing us.
Thank you,
Loretta Boesing
