Pharmacy deserts are no longer theoretical. They're here, and they're growing.
Communities that once had two or three nearby independent pharmacies now have none. Patients are driving 30, 40, or even 50 miles to fill a prescription they used to walk ten minutes for.
The cause isn't a mystery. PBM practices like spread pricing, DIR fees, and below-cost reimbursement are making it financially impossible for independents to stay open. Three PBMs control nearly 80% of prescription claims in the U.S., and that concentration of power is squeezing pharmacies out of business one closure at a time.
But this isn't inevitable. States like Pennsylvania and Alabama have shown that policy reform and enforcement can actually work.
We broke down the full picture of why pharmacy deserts are spreading, what's driving it, and a practical playbook for what independent pharmacy owners can do right now to advocate for their businesses and their communities.

Pharmacy owners: when's the last time you actually looked at what's been sitting on your shelf?
The end of Q2 is a great natural checkpoint to catch slow-moving or expiring inventory before it becomes a bigger write-off later in the year. A 20-minute audit now can save a much bigger headache in December.
A few things worth checking this week:
