#Independentpharmacies are vital to our local communities, offering care and accessibility. However, they face challenges from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (#PBMs) and reduced reimbursements. It's crucial for local communities and #policymakers to support these #pharmacies to ensure they can continue providing essential services. By advocating for fair policies and choosing to shop locally, we can help sustain these valuable healthcare providers. #SupportLocalPharmacies #IndependentPharmacy #Healthcare #PolicyChange #CommunitySupport

In February 2023, the Ontario government introduced Bill 60. Two of the key aspects of the Bill were: 1) to expand the scope of private clinics/independent health facilities to allow surgical procedures 2) to allow healthcare providers licensed in other provinces to temporarily work in Ontario while waiting for their Ontario licence with "as-of-right licensing". As of September 25, 2023, the Act and its Regulations are now entirely in effect. Take a look at our latest bulletin for highlights on what you need to know now that Bill 60 is in force. https://lnkd.in/gQ5qcJPY
