Radio Smart Talk for Wednesday, November 2:

Years ago, the corner pharmacy was part of small town America.  It was a gathering place for those looking for a milkshake at the soda fountain.  It was also the unquestioned place for families to obtain their prescription medications.

Times have changed.  The neighborhood or independent pharmacy competes with the large chain drug stores that sell almost everything 5 and 10 stores used to have available.  There are consumers who purchase their medications through the mail.

Independent pharmacies are still important community members -- it's just that there is more competition.

On Wednesday's Radio Smart Talk, two independent pharmacists will join us to discuss their roles in the community and focus on a proposal that could impact their prescription drug business.
