Cleveland seniors struggle to get medications as neighborhood pharmacy closures mount
WKYC: Stephanie Pike Moore, a research scientist at the university’s Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods, said that as a growing number of pharmacies close down, it's not easy for many seniors to travel to other locations. “These are traditionally disenfranchised neighborhoods—populations that were historically redlined, so folks with lower incomes, folks that identify as non-Hispanic, Black,” said Pike Moore. “These communities are experiencing a higher rate of retail decline, or pharmacy decline.”
