From Minnesota Retailers Association website, Oct. 28: The Minnesota Retailers Association (MnRA) and Minnesota Pharmacists Association (MPhA) have announced the awarding of funds to eight pharmacies across Minnesota. Under the program—with funds generously provided by the Rx Abuse Leadership Initiative (RALI) of Minnesota—applications were solicited from pharmacies looking to enhance safe customer access or medication security within the context of the pandemic or recent unrest.
“Pharmacies across the state have been heroic in reopening and remaining open and available to customers amid pandemic and unrest challenges,” says MnRA president Bruce Nustad. “We know Minnesotans depend on their community pharmacist, and are pleased these awards support continued, safe customer access.”
“The pandemic and unrest have reminded us that pharmacies and safe access to medications are essential in each of Minnesota’s communities,” says MPhA Executive Director Sarah Derr. “We are grateful to RALI MN for supporting this program, as well as to the team that reviewed applications for funds.”
