Clinic fears pharmacist rule could end Mercy Health Right care
Mercer County politician Chafin vows action after proposed state Board of Pharmacy rules would force clinics to hire a full time pharmacist at about 100000 dollars. Health Right administrator Debbie Enigk notes the cost would consume about half the clinic budget while SB 722 intent is questioned during next week's legislative interims. Chafin says he will stay on top of the issue and push for correction.
