Research from a Drake University professor has documented what he and others have known to be true, but some denied — Iowa’s network of community pharmacies has been shrinking for more than a decade.
Michael Andreski, associate professor of pharmacy at Drake University, conducted a study tracking open pharmacies in the state between 2008 and 2022. He found that the total number of pharmacies decreased by more than 10%, with the largest losses coming from independent businesses, rather than a chain or franchise.
