USC-NCPA Pharmacy Access initiative
Across the United States, millions of people live in pharmacy deserts – neighborhoods where pharmacies are scarce or inaccessible due to distance, transportation barriers, or economic challenges. A new tool from the National Community Pharmacists Association and the University of Southern California School of Pharmacy and Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics generates real-time information on the scope and impact of reduced pharmacy access. Note: You will need to sign-up to access the interactive tool.
