Resident warns pharmacy closure is forcing seniors to travel for medications
Summary
A Woodstock resident urged the town to prioritize the community impact of the village pharmacy closure, saying some elderly residents may now have to travel to Rutland to obtain certain prescription medications.
During the public-comment period a resident raised concern about access to prescription drugs after the closure of the last local pharmacy.
Byron Kelly told the boards that the pharmacy closing is not typically a board matter but is a community issue that needs attention because "there's a whole segment of elderly that depended on their different class drugs that they can't pick up in West Lehi and close by that now might have to go to Rutland," and he urged the boards to make it a priority. Board members acknowledged the concern and suggested it be elevated for follow-up where appropriate.
The comment did not lead to a board vote or directive during the meeting; it was recorded as public input to be considered alongside other community priorities.
